FAQs
Does the Mika Planter Pot have drainage holes?
No, this model does not feature drainage holes. It is designed to be used as a cachepot or for plants that require minimal water.
Can I use this pot outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, but we recommend bringing it inside during extreme weather or freezing conditions to preserve the finish.
What is the exact diameter of the pot?
The Mika Display Planter Pot measures 20cm in diameter, making it ideal for standard nursery plant containers of that same size.
How do I prevent root rot without drainage?
Keep your plant inside its original plastic nursery pot and place that inside the Mika planter. This allows you to remove the plant for watering and ensures air flow to the roots.
What materials is the planter made from?
The planter is crafted from high-quality, durable materials selected for their aesthetic appeal and ability to withstand indoor and outdoor environments.
Is it heavy enough to hold a tall plant?
It is best suited for medium-sized plants. If using a top-heavy plant, ensure the surface it rests on is stable to prevent tipping.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom of the pot
Remove the plant and the liner, pour out excess water, and ensure you are using a plastic drainage tray inside the pot to catch overflow.
Surface showing water spots
Clean the area with a damp cloth and buff dry immediately with a clean, soft towel.
Pot feels unstable on uneven surfaces
Place a thin, non-slip silicone mat or felt pad beneath the base to level the pot and protect the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Mika Display Planter Pot is straightforward, as it requires no assembly. To ensure the longevity of both the planter and your plant, follow these care guidelines:
- Moisture Management: Since the pot is sealed, always use a plastic drainage saucer or a plastic nursery liner inside the pot to prevent water from sitting at the bottom.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and maintain its polished look. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Surface Protection: If placing the pot on delicate wood surfaces, consider adding felt pads to the bottom to prevent potential scratches.
- Placement: While suitable for outdoor use, bring the planter indoors during freezing temperatures to avoid potential cracking or surface damage caused by extreme weather contraction.
