Other Useful English Words

Depending on the exact size and style of the Gamla, native English speakers use different words:

  1. Flowerpot: The most standard word for a small, round container (usually made of brown terracotta clay or plastic) used to grow a single plant.
  2. Planter: This is a more modern, decorative word. A planter is usually a very large, heavy, box-shaped container meant to hold multiple plants at once.
  3. Vase (फूलदान): Do not confuse a Gamla with a Vase! A vase is a tall glass jar used only to hold dead, cut flowers in water on a dining table. You cannot grow a living plant in a vase.
