FAQs
Can I leave these planters outside all year?
Yes, zinc is weather-resistant, though bringing them in during extreme winter conditions can help prolong the finish.
Do these planters have drainage holes?
No, these planters do not come with pre-drilled drainage holes.
Are these suitable for succulents?
Yes, they are excellent for succulents, provided you manage watering carefully to prevent root rot due to the lack of drainage.
What are the dimensions of the planters?
The planters are designed as a standard cylinder shape meant for small to medium-sized indoor and outdoor plants.
Can I paint these planters?
While you can paint them, the vintage grey finish is intended to be a decorative feature. If you choose to paint them, ensure you use a metal-compatible primer.
Troubleshooting
Water collecting at the bottom
Since there are no drainage holes, use a shallow layer of gravel at the base of the planter before adding soil or keep your plants in plastic nursery pots inside the metal planters.
Surface showing white spots or oxidation
Zinc can develop a natural patina over time when exposed to moisture; this can usually be buffed away with a dry, lint-free cloth if desired.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Cohesive set of four for balanced design layouts

Cons
- No pre-drilled drainage holes
- Zinc can become hot in direct, prolonged sunlight

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your planters is straightforward. If you intend to plant directly into the containers, it is recommended to add a layer of expanded clay pebbles or horticultural grit at the base to create a false drainage layer, as there are no drainage holes. For indoor use, ensure the planters are placed on a protective coaster to prevent moisture rings on wooden surfaces. To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may strip the vintage grey finish or affect the metal patina.
