FAQs
Can I use this pot outside?
Yes, the Ferm Living Hourglass Pot is designed for both indoor and outdoor use thanks to its durable powder-coated metal construction.
How do I switch the orientation?
Simply remove the plant, clean the pot, and rotate it 180 degrees. Ensure the surface you are placing it on is level.
What is the drainage hole for?
The hole allows excess water to drain from the soil, which prevents root rot. Always remove the rubber stopper when using the pot outdoors.
Is the rubber stopper included?
Yes, every Hourglass pot comes with a rubber stopper designed to plug the drainage hole for indoor use.
Does the metal rust?
While the powder coating provides a protective barrier, it is recommended to keep the pot in sheltered outdoor areas to maximize its lifespan.
Can I plant directly into the pot?
Yes, the pot is designed to hold soil and plants directly, though some users prefer keeping plants in a plastic nursery liner inside the pot for easier maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the bottom during indoor use
Ensure the provided rubber stopper is inserted securely and flush with the drainage hole.
Surface marks or light scratches appearing on the finish
Use a microfiber cloth with warm, mild soapy water to gently buff out surface debris; avoid harsh solvents.
Pot feels wobbly on uneven surfaces
Check that the base is sitting on a flat, level surface and that there is no debris caught between the pot bottom and the floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pot, first determine your drainage needs: if using indoors on a delicate surface, ensure the included rubber stopper is firmly inserted into the drainage hole. For outdoor use or when watering, the stopper should be removed to allow excess moisture to escape. When planting, place a layer of leca or small stones at the bottom to assist with drainage before adding your potting mix. To clean, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using steel wool, harsh chemicals, or abrasive scouring pads, as these will damage the delicate matte powder coating.
