Product Information
Full details
This Primrose Chelsea Lead Effect Framed Cube Pot is designed for gardeners seeking a stylish yet practical container for their plants. Its key benefit is offering the aesthetic of stone with the lightweight convenience of fibrecotta. A potential caveat is that while durable, the material may require occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance. This planter offers a contemporary look, is made from a durable fibrecotta material that mimics stone, and includes features for healthy plant growth.

FAQs
What material is the 'Lead Effect' made from?
The pot is made from Fibrecotta, a composite material of fibreglass and clay, which is finished to resemble lead.
Is this planter suitable for winter?
Yes, the planter is frost resistant and UV stabilised, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.
How do I prevent overwatering?
The planter has drainage holes. You can use the supplied bung to control water retention; remove it for most outdoor applications to allow excess water to drain.
Can I use this planter indoors?
Yes, it is suitable for indoor use. We recommend using the bung to prevent water leakage and placing a saucer underneath.
What are the exact dimensions of the H30Cm pot?
The dimensions are Height: 30cm (11.8in), Width: 30cm (11.8in), Depth: 30cm (11.8in).
Is it heavy?
No, Fibrecotta is significantly lighter than traditional stone or lead, making it easy to move even when filled.
Troubleshooting
Waterlogging despite drainage holes
Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Remove the bung completely if using outdoors.
Appearance dulls over time
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Planter feels unstable
Ensure the planter is placed on a level and stable surface. For taller plants, consider adding weight to the base if necessary.
