How heavy is the planter?

Can I leave plants in the planter over winter?

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface despite drainage holes

Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Gently clear any obstructions. Add a thicker layer of drainage material (e.g., gravel) at the base of the planter.

Planter appears to be cracking or chipping after winter

While frost-proof, extreme temperature fluctuations or prolonged saturation can stress materials. Ensure drainage is optimal. Minor chips are part of the rustic aesthetic; significant cracking may indicate a more serious issue and should be assessed.

Difficulty moving the planter

This planter is intentionally heavy for stability. It is best to determine the final placement before filling it with soil and plants. If repositioning is necessary, empty the planter completely and use appropriate lifting equipment or seek assistance.
