Hello! In this case this item is meant to use decoratively on its own- see photo of another boxwood ball as an example. If you are interested in a potted boxwood I would search for "boxwood topiary". The item you are looking at is indoor/oudoor weather resistant, but it is not UV resistant.

Here's a link to one of our tabletop boxwood topiary; we also have much larger sizes: [16"H Boxwood topiary, set of 2 with planters[(https://www.houzz.com/products/boxwood-topiary-with-planter-set-of-2-prvw-vr~43925068?lid=31014738)

Hope you find what you are looking for!
