Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the Wham Vista Trough for planting, first decide if you need drainage. If used outdoors, drill several small holes in the bottom to prevent water pooling. For indoor use, you may prefer a plastic liner to prevent moisture leakage. Fill the base with a layer of expanded clay pellets or grit before adding high-quality potting mix to encourage proper root aeration. To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth or a mild soapy solution; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners to keep the grey finish looking new.
