FAQs

Does the planter come with drainage holes?

No, the Trifibre Planter is delivered without pre-drilled holes, allowing you to customize it for your specific needs – either drill holes for drainage or keep it sealed for indoor displays.

What material is the planter made from?

The planter is made using a rotational moulding process, resulting in a heavy-duty yet lightweight plastic construction.

Can this planter be left outside in winter?

Yes, it is designed to be weatherproof, including being frost-proof and UV resistant for year-round outdoor use.

How much compost does the planter hold?

The planter has a generous capacity of 140 litres.

Is the planter heavy?

The planter itself is surprisingly lightweight, weighing just 7.65kg, which makes it easy to move even before it's filled.

Can I use this planter indoors?

Yes, you can use it indoors, especially if you don't drill drainage holes. Consider using a liner to protect surfaces if you are concerned about moisture.

What types of plants are best suited for this planter?

Its wide and shallow shape is excellent for herbs, succulents, trailing plants, and creating multi-plant arrangements. The large volume also supports shrubs and small trees.

Troubleshooting

Planter feels flimsy before planting.

Ensure the planter is on a stable, level surface. The rotational moulding provides flexibility but is robust once filled with soil and plants.

Water pooling at the base when used outdoors.

This indicates a need for drainage holes. Carefully drill holes in the base of the planter to allow excess water to escape.

Surface scratches are visible.

Minor scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consider a plastic repair kit or accept them as part of the planter's character.
