Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your bowls for planting, it is recommended to add a thin layer of horticultural grit or leca at the bottom since they do not have drainage holes. This layer helps prevent bulb rot. When selecting bulbs, ensure they are compatible with shallow container planting. For maintenance, keep the bowls away from direct, high-intensity sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading of the white finish. After a season of use, empty the contents, wash the interior with mild soap and water if necessary, and use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any residue. Always ensure the bowls are stored in a dry place during winter to maintain their structural integrity.
