Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable
Ensure the planter is on a flat, level surface. If planting very tall or top-heavy plants, consider securing it or using a wider, more stable base.
Water pooling at the bottom
Check if drainage holes are present and clear. If not, carefully create small drainage holes using a drill bit suitable for plastic. Ensure the planter is not sitting in a saucer that retains excess water.
Discoloration after prolonged use
Some fading may occur with continuous UV exposure. This is cosmetic and does not affect the planter's functionality. For significant fading, consider placing it in a partially shaded location or using a plant-safe sealant.
