Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be leaking water
If using indoors, ensure the planter is placed on a suitable saucer or tray to collect excess water. Check that drainage holes are not clogged. If necessary, add a layer of gravel at the base.
Surface has faded or shows signs of wear
Although designed for durability, prolonged intense sunlight can cause fading over time. For indoor use, position away from direct, harsh sunlight. For outdoor use, consider it normal wear or protect during peak sun hours if aesthetics are critical.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt
Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water. For persistent grime, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive sponge may be required. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
