FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The planter has a bottom dimension of 13cm x 13cm, a top dimension of 23cm x 23cm, and a height of 26cm.

Do the planters come with drainage holes already made?

No, the planters come with pre-marked spots that are ready to be drilled for drainage, offering you the flexibility to create holes if needed.

Can these planters be used indoors?

Yes, they are suitable for indoor use. If using indoors without drilling drainage holes, be very careful not to overwater to prevent root rot. Consider placing a saucer underneath.

What material are the planters made from?

They are made from high-quality, durable plastic with a metallic effect finish.

How should I clean the metallic finish?

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Are these planters suitable for large trees?

They are suitable for smaller trees or dwarf varieties. For very large or mature trees, you might need larger or deeper containers.

What is included in the box?

The box contains 2x Tall Planter Pots in Grey with a metallic finish.

Troubleshooting

Planter seems unstable

Ensure the planter is on a level surface. If drainage holes have been drilled, check that they have not compromised the base. For taller plants, consider adding weight to the bottom before filling with soil.

Metallic finish is scratched or dull

Light scratches can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For dullness, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Water pooling despite drainage holes

Ensure the drilled drainage holes are not blocked by soil or debris. Verify that the planter is not sitting in a dish that is holding excess water. Make sure the holes are sufficiently large.

Plastic cracking in cold weather

While designed to be frost-resistant, extreme temperature fluctuations can stress plastic. Ensure the planter is not filled with frozen soil, which expands. Emptying excess water can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant metallic finish adds a sophisticated look to any garden or patio.
  • Durable plastic construction is resistant to frost and weathering for all-season use.
  • Tall design is versatile for a wide range of plant types and root systems.
  • Optional drainage holes provide flexibility for plant care and prevent root rot.
  • Comes in a practical pack of two for enhanced value and display options.

Cons

  • The metallic effect is a surface finish and may be susceptible to scratching or fading with prolonged, harsh exposure.
  • Plastic material, while durable, may not offer the same premium feel as ceramic or terracotta.
  • Requires drilling for drainage, which is an extra step for the user.
  • Dimensions might be less suitable for extremely wide, shallow-rooted plants.
  • Not biodegradable, which might be a consideration for eco-conscious gardeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the two KetoBarrow Tall Planter Pots.
  2. Decide if you need drainage. If so, locate the marked areas on the bottom of the pot.
  3. Using a drill with an appropriate bit (not included), carefully create one or more drainage holes at the marked locations.
  4. Place the planter in your desired location.
  5. Fill with suitable potting mix and plant your chosen flora.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants, from annuals and perennials to small shrubs and herbs.
  • Compatible with all standard potting soils and composts.
  • Can be used on patios, balconies, decking, or directly in garden beds.

Care:

  • Clean the planters periodically with a damp cloth to maintain their appearance.
  • For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could damage the metallic finish.
  • Store in a cool, dry place during extreme weather if concerned about longevity of the finish, though the plastic itself is frost-resistant.
