Is this pot suitable for outdoor use?
This pot is designed for indoor use and may not withstand extreme weather conditions or frost.
How do I clean the glossy finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting, or a lightly dampened cloth for mild stains, followed by a dry wipe.
Troubleshooting
Water accumulation inside the pot
Remove the nursery pot, drain the excess water, and ensure the nursery pot is dry before placing it back inside.
Fingerprints or smudges on the surface
Wipe the surface gently with a soft microfiber cloth.
Pot sliding on smooth surfaces
Apply small adhesive felt furniture pads to the bottom of the pot to improve grip and prevent scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pot, ensure the base of your chosen plant's inner liner is free of standing water before placing it inside the ceramic vessel. Since the Hortus Sofia does not feature drainage holes, avoid planting directly into the ceramic to prevent root rot. For care, keep the pot looking pristine by dusting it regularly with a dry microfiber cloth. If a deeper clean is required, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you dry the surface immediately to preserve the glossy sheen. It is recommended to use a felt pad underneath the pot to protect delicate wooden surfaces from potential scratches.
