Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the planter for use, ensure you place it on a level surface to prevent uneven drainage. If placing it indoors, always use a saucer beneath the drainage hole to protect your flooring. To clean the planter, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the whitewashed finish. For the best plant health, fill the bottom third with a high-quality drainage medium before adding soil, ensuring that the roots have plenty of oxygen and space to thrive.
