Product Information

Full details

The Auran planter is designed for individuals who appreciate bold, brutalist aesthetics in their home decor and want to create a striking contrast with their indoor plants. Its key benefit lies in its unique, oversized rim that acts as a statement piece, beautifully juxtaposing hard metal with soft greenery. A primary caveat is that it is intended for indoor use only. This planter is crafted from galvanized iron, featuring a distinctive design inspired by brutalism, with an oversized saucer rim resembling Saturn's rings. It comes in multiple sizes (S, M, L) and aims to enhance indoor plants by balancing brutalist design with botanical elements.

Can the Auran planter be used outdoors?

No, the Auran planter is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause damage and discoloration to the galvanized iron.

What material is the Auran planter made from?

The Auran planter is made from galvanized iron.

How should I clean the planter?

Clean the planter with a soft, damp cloth and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does the planter have drainage holes?

The Auran planter is a holder and does not typically come with drainage holes. It is designed to hold a plant in its nursery pot.

Will the metal rust if it gets wet?

While galvanized iron offers rust resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture, especially in combination with air, can eventually affect the finish. It's best to keep the planter dry and empty any pooled water.

Where is the Auran planter manufactured?

The Auran planter is fabricated in China.

Troubleshooting

Scratches on the surface

Minor scratches on galvanized iron are typical of the material's character. For deeper scratches, a metal polish specifically designed for galvanized surfaces might be used sparingly, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Water pooling around the base indoors

Ensure the plant's inner pot has adequate drainage. If water collects in the bottom of the Auran planter, empty it promptly to prevent moisture damage to surrounding surfaces or the planter itself.

Uneven finish or slight discoloration

Variations in the galvanized finish are normal and part of its industrial aesthetic. Ensure the planter is kept dry and away from harsh chemicals to maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Auran planter is ready to use upon arrival. Simply place your potted plant directly into the planter, ensuring it sits securely within the base. No assembly is required.

Compatibility: This planter is designed for indoor use only. It is compatible with a wide range of common houseplants. Ensure the plant's pot fits comfortably within the dimensions of the chosen planter size.

Care: To clean the Auran planter, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the galvanized surface. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Due to its metal construction, it is not recommended for use with plants that require consistently wet soil directly in the planter, as prolonged moisture can affect the metal over time. Consider using a plastic inner pot for such plants.
