Can this planter be left outside in winter?

Yes, the planter is weatherproof and frost-resistant, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.

How should I clean the planter?

Is the navy blue colour prone to fading?

The fibre clay material and finish are designed for durability and outdoor use, typically resisting significant fading from sunlight.

Can I paint the planter a different colour?

While fibre clay can be painted, it is recommended to use paints specifically designed for outdoor use and porous surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface despite the drainage hole.

Check that the drainage hole is not blocked by soil or debris. Gently clear any obstructions. Ensure the planter is not sitting in a saucer that is constantly full of water.

Minor chips or scratches on the surface.

For minor cosmetic damage, a touch-up paint in a similar navy blue hue can be used. For deeper damage, consult the manufacturer for repair advice.

Planter feels unusually heavy to move.

Remember that while fibre clay is lighter than concrete, filled planters can still be heavy. Empty the planter before attempting to move it long distances, or enlist help.
