FAQs
Can this planter be used outdoors year-round?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use; however, bringing it into a sheltered area during extreme weather will help maintain its finish.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
Depending on the specific batch, you may need to drill drainage holes in the bottom if you intend to plant directly into the container.
What is the total height of the planter?
The planter measures approximately 45 cm in height.
Is the material real rattan?
No, it is a durable plastic material molded with a rattan-effect finish to provide the look of wicker with the durability of polymer.
Can I use this for indoor plants?
Absolutely, the neutral brown color makes it a great decorative piece for indoor living spaces.
How do I move it if it's too heavy?
The planter is lightweight, but if it is full of soil, it is recommended to empty it or use a plant caddy with wheels for easier movement.
Troubleshooting
Planter tipping over in wind
Place a layer of heavy stones or bricks at the very bottom of the planter to act as ballast before adding soil.
Visible dust in the rattan crevices
Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to clean the textured gaps without scratching the surface.
Plant growth concerns
Ensure that the internal depth of the planter is suitable for the specific plant species; use a riser if the pot is too deep for the root system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: the planter arrives ready for use. To keep it looking new, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or garden debris. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals that could scratch the rattan-effect finish. For outdoor care, it is recommended to bring the planter inside or place it in a garage during extreme winter freezes to prolong the integrity of the plastic materials. Ensure any plant placed inside has a drainage tray or is potted in an internal liner if the container does not feature pre-drilled drainage holes.
