Product Information
Full details
The Wham Vista Slate Corner Planter is an ideal choice for urban gardeners and homeowners looking to optimize limited space on balconies, patios, or garden corners. With a substantial 49-litre capacity, it provides ample room for deep-rooted flowers or small shrubs, though its rigid plastic construction means it lacks the natural drainage properties of terracotta or stone, requiring careful soil management.

FAQs
Is this planter suitable for indoor use?
Yes, but since it does not include a saucer, ensure you place it on a waterproof tray to protect your floors.
Can I leave this outside during winter?
The material is weather-resistant, though it is recommended to keep it in a sheltered area if you live in an environment with extreme freeze-thaw cycles.
What is the weight of the planter when empty?
It is made of lightweight, durable plastic, making it easy to move before it is filled with soil.
Does the planter come with pre-drilled holes?
Most models require the user to drill their own drainage holes based on whether they plan to use it indoors or outdoors.
What types of plants grow best in this corner planter?
It is excellent for medium-sized shrubs, lavender, ornamental grasses, or trailing flowers that can spill over the edges.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Drill additional drainage holes in the base to ensure excess water can escape freely.
Planter feels unstable on the patio
Ensure the corner surface is level and clean; use shims if necessary to balance the base.
Surface looks dusty or faded
Wipe with a damp cloth; a small amount of vegetable oil on a rag can sometimes restore the luster of the slate-effect finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Maximizes wasted corner space effectively
- Lightweight and easy to relocate compared to stone planters
- Weather-resistant material for year-round durability
- Modern, neutral aesthetic that complements most outdoor decor
Cons
- Non-porous material may require drainage holes to be drilled
- Rigid plastic may fade over extended periods in direct, intense sunlight
- Corner shape can make cleaning tight angles slightly challenging
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the planter is straightforward: select a level corner area to ensure stability, as uneven surfaces may stress the plastic over time. While the planter is sturdy, avoid placing it on sharp or abrasive surfaces that could scratch the finish. If you intend to use this planter outdoors where rainfall is frequent, verify if your specific unit requires custom drainage holes; if so, carefully drill small holes in the base to prevent water stagnation. For care, wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust or garden debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the slate-effect texture.
