FAQs
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. If using indoors, ensure you place a saucer or tray underneath to catch excess water.
What are the exact dimensions?
The planter is approximately 30 cm in height and 60 cm in width.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
It is recommended to check the base; if you are using it outdoors, you may need to add drainage holes to ensure proper plant health.
Is the material frost-proof?
The material is weather-resistant, but as with many garden planters, avoiding standing water within the container during deep freezes will prolong its life.
How do I clean the riven texture?
A soft brush or a damp cloth is sufficient to remove dirt from the textured grooves.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Ensure drainage holes are present and clear of debris; drill additional holes if necessary for better water flow.
Exterior finish looking dull or dusty
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry with a clean rag to restore the graphite sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your planter, ensure it is placed in its permanent location before adding soil, as moving a filled planter can be strenuous. If using outdoors, check if you wish to drill drainage holes; while the vessel is weather-resistant, proper drainage is vital for plant health to prevent root rot. For care, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or garden debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the riven finish. During extreme winter conditions, keeping the planter slightly elevated or in a more sheltered spot can further extend its pristine condition.
