The planter and saucer are both 43cm in diameter. The planter has a soil capacity of approximately 21 liters.
It is strongly recommended to drill drainage holes. Without them, water can stagnate, leading to root rot. The saucer can help manage minor overflow, but proper drainage is essential for plant health.
The product is made from reground recycled single-use household plastic. While suitable for general planting, if you intend to grow edibles, it's advisable to research the specific safety standards for recycled plastics in food cultivation in your region.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Yes, the planter is designed to be weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use year-round. However, extreme temperature fluctuations can sometimes stress materials, so monitoring is advised.
The saucer is designed to catch normal drainage. It can contain a significant amount of excess water, but if the planter is severely overwatered or the saucer is significantly tilted, overflow might occur.
A standard drill bit suitable for plastic is recommended. Start with a smaller bit and widen if necessary, depending on your plant's drainage needs.
Ensure the planter is on a level surface. If drilling reservoir overflow holes, make sure standard drainage holes are also clear.
Check that the drainage holes in the planter are not blocked. Ensure the saucer is not overfilled beyond its capacity and empty it regularly.
Use a drill bit designed for plastic. Start slowly and apply steady pressure. You may want to warm the plastic slightly with a hairdryer beforehand for easier drilling, but do not overheat.
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged intense UV exposure can eventually affect color. Consider placing in a location with partial shade if fading is a concern.
Setup: To set up, place the planter in its desired location. If drainage is needed, use the guide marks on the base to drill holes using an appropriate drill bit for plastic. The 43cm saucer should be placed directly beneath the planter to catch excess water.
Compatibility: This planter is compatible with most standard potting soils and plant types suitable for its 21L capacity. It is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
Care: Clean the planter and saucer periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Ensure drainage holes are clear of debris to maintain proper water flow.
