FAQs
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, but you must use a saucer or tray underneath to catch water leaking from the integrated drainage holes.
What is the diameter of the planter?
The planter measures approximately 63cm in diameter.
Do I need to drill my own holes?
No, the planter comes with integrated drainage holes already included.
Is the material weather-resistant?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and built for durability in garden settings.
Can I leave this outside in winter?
Yes, though if you live in an area with severe freeze-thaw cycles, elevating the planter off the ground can help extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling around the base
Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by heavy soil or roots; you may need to clear the holes or add more drainage material at the bottom.
Planter feels unstable
Check that the ground underneath is level. If the surface is uneven, use weather-resistant shims to stabilize the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your planter is straightforward: ensure the surface where you intend to place it is firm and level. Due to its size, it is best to place the planter in its permanent location before filling it with soil, as it will be heavy once loaded. For optimal drainage, place a layer of gravel or pot shards at the bottom before adding your potting mix. For care, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty. During harsh winter months, if you live in a frost-prone area, consider moving the planter to a sheltered location or elevating it off the ground to prevent potential stress on the material from freezing water in the soil.
