Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom
Add a thick layer of hydroton or gravel at the base to create a reservoir for excess water away from the root system.
Visible water stains on the exterior
Clean the surface with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then dry immediately to prevent mineral buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your plants thrive in the Vintage Cylinder Bee Planters, follow these setup tips:
- Drainage Preparation: Since the planters do not have drainage holes, create a drainage layer at the bottom using gravel or clay pebbles before adding potting soil.
- Placement: Choose locations that balance light requirements for your specific plants with the planters' weight. Ensure the ground or surface is level to prevent tipping.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to maintain the rustic finish. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the decorative texture or bee motif.
- Weather Protection: During harsh winter months or periods of extreme cold, it is recommended to move the planters to a sheltered area to prevent potential material degradation.
