FAQs
Is this planter made of real ceramic?
No, it is crafted from durable, high-quality resin designed to replicate the look and finish of ceramic while offering a lightweight design.
Can I leave this planter outside all winter?
The material is weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use, but it should be placed where it can drain freely to prevent ice buildup.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
This model is typically supplied as a solid shell. If drainage is required for your specific plant, you can easily drill holes through the resin base.
What is the diameter of the planter?
The planter measures approximately 40 cm in diameter.
How should I clean the exterior?
Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratching the finish.
Troubleshooting
The surface has lost its original shine.
Apply a mild non-abrasive polish designed for plastic or resin to restore the glossy luster.
The planter is too light and tips over in high winds.
Add a layer of heavy gravel or decorative stones to the bottom of the planter to lower the center of gravity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your planter in pristine condition, place it on a level surface to prevent uneven weight distribution. If you intend to use the planter for live plants, ensure you assess the drainage needs of your specific flora; if necessary, drill appropriate drainage holes in the base before adding soil. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the glossy finish or leave fine scratches on the resin surface. For outdoor use, the planter is hardy, but in areas with deep freezing temperatures, it is recommended to elevate the base slightly to allow for proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup underneath.
