FAQs
Are these planters frost-proof?
Yes, they are made from heavy-duty plastic that is designed to withstand typical outdoor weather conditions, including winter frosts.
Do I need to drill holes for drainage?
The planters come with pierceable drainage points. You do not need a drill; a screwdriver or a similar sharp tool is sufficient to push through the plastic.
Can these be used indoors?
Absolutely. If used indoors, we recommend keeping the drainage holes sealed to prevent water leakage, or placing the planter on a waterproof tray.
What is the length of each planter?
Each planter in the pack is 40cm long.
How many planters are included in this set?
This set contains 6 individual planters.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Ensure all pierceable drainage holes at the base have been fully opened.
Planter feels unstable on a windowsill
Use adhesive anti-slip pads or mounting clips to secure the base to the sill.
Surface dirt is difficult to remove
Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to gently scrub the textured Venetian detailing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your planters, determine your placement first; if placing outdoors, flip the planter over and push a sharp object through the pre-marked drainage dimples. Fill the bottom with a layer of grit or clay pebbles for better aeration before adding potting compost. For care, these planters require very little maintenance. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap during the off-season to remove dirt and algae buildup. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface and degrade the finish over time.
