Troubleshooting
Water pooling in the trough despite drainage holes
Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or debris. If the trough is placed on a solid surface, slightly elevate one end to encourage better drainage.
Planter appears faded after prolonged sun exposure
While designed for outdoor use, extreme prolonged UV exposure can affect color. This does not impact the structural integrity. Rotate the planter or use UV protectant sprays if significant fading is a concern.
Difficulty drilling drainage holes
Use a drill bit appropriate for plastic. Start with a smaller pilot hole if needed, and apply steady pressure. Ensure the trough is on a stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These troughs are suitable for a wide range of plants, including flowers, herbs, and small shrubs. They are compatible with standard potting mixes and soil. The planter can be used both indoors and outdoors. For indoor use, consider placing a saucer or tray underneath to catch any water.
Care: Cleaning is simple. Wipe the troughs with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the recycled plastic material. The durable nature of the troughs means they require minimal maintenance to retain their appearance and functionality.
