FAQs

What material are these planters made from?

They are made from Polystone, a composite material consisting of unsaturated resin mixed with powdered stone additives, giving them a stone-like appearance and finish.

Are these planters suitable for indoor use?

While primarily designed for outdoor use due to their durability and aesthetic, they can be used indoors if drainage is managed to prevent water damage to surfaces.

What are the exact dimensions of the planters?

Each planter has a height of 60cm. The width and depth dimensions for the cube shape should be confirmed with specific product listings, but the 'tall cube' descriptor suggests equal length and width.

Do I need to prepare the planters before planting?

It's advisable to check for drainage holes. Adding a layer of gravel or coarse material at the bottom can improve drainage and aeration for plant roots.

How should I clean the planters?

Clean the planters with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the terrazzo finish.

What should I do about the pallet delivery?

You may need to dispose of or reuse the delivery pallet. Please plan accordingly for its removal or repurposing.

Can these planters withstand frost?

Polystone is durable, but to protect plants and prevent any potential stress on the material from extreme temperature fluctuations, it is recommended to empty and shelter planters during harsh winters.

Troubleshooting

Planter has minor cosmetic imperfections

Due to the unique terrazzo finish, slight variations are normal. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Water pooling at the bottom

Ensure planters have adequate drainage holes. Add a layer of gravel or pot feet to improve airflow and drainage.

Difficulty moving the planter

These are large and heavy planters. It is recommended to have assistance when moving them, especially when empty. Consider using a plant caddy for easier relocation once filled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable Polystone material resists cracking and chipping.
  • Sleek, modern design with an attractive terrazzo finish.
  • Lighter weight compared to solid stone planters, making them easier to position.
  • Suitable for both commercial and residential high-end outdoor spaces.
  • Generous 60cm height allows for significant planting.

Cons

  • Delivery may involve a pallet that requires handling.
  • Polystone can be susceptible to staining from certain organic materials over time.
  • While lighter than stone, they are still substantial and may require two people for moving when empty.
  • Limited color options available (black mentioned in title).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove planters from the delivery pallet (if applicable) and packaging. Inspect for any damage.
  2. Placement: Decide on the final location. Due to their size, it is best to place them before filling.
  3. Drainage: Ensure adequate drainage. While Polystone is durable, standing water can be detrimental to plant roots. Consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or drilling drainage holes if not already present.

Compatibility:

  • These planters are suitable for a wide range of outdoor plants, from small trees and shrubs to perennial flowers and ornamental grasses.
  • They are compatible with standard potting soils and drainage mediums.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
  • Winter Care: While durable, it is recommended to empty the planters of soil and plants and store them in a sheltered location during harsh winter conditions to prevent potential frost damage to the plants or soil.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for resin or stone-effect materials may be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
