FAQs
What material are these planters made from?
The planters are made from galvanised zinc, providing durability and a stylish natural grey finish.
How many planters are included in the set?
This set includes two hanging planters.
What kind of plants are best suited for these planters?
They are ideal for flowers, herbs, and small trailing plants. Consider the mature size of the plant and its watering needs.
Can these planters be used outdoors?
Yes, they are designed for outdoor use with their galvanised zinc construction.
How do I clean the planters?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the typical lifespan of these planters?
With proper care and depending on environmental conditions, galvanised zinc planters can last for several years.
Do the planters have drainage holes?
The product description does not specify pre-drilled drainage holes. It is recommended to check the base or add small holes if your plants require them.
Troubleshooting
Planters are wobbly when hung
Ensure the hooks are securely seated on the railing or fence. If the surface is uneven, consider adding a non-slip liner between the hook and the surface.
Water pooling in the planter
This indicates a lack of drainage. Carefully drill a few small holes in the bottom of the planter to allow excess water to escape. Alternatively, ensure you are not overwatering.
Zinc finish appears to be changing color
This is likely natural patination which is normal for zinc. It does not harm the planter. If you prefer the original look, gentle cleaning with mild soap and water may help, but avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify a suitable, sturdy location for hanging, such as a strong railing, fence, or shelf.
- Ensure the surface can safely support the weight of the planter, soil, and plants.
- Simply hook the planters securely onto the chosen surface using the integrated back hooks.
Compatibility:
- These planters are compatible with most standard railings, fences, and sturdy ledges.
- They are suitable for a variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, and small trailing plants.
- *Note:* For plants that require excellent drainage, consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or drilling small drainage holes if the planter does not already have them.
Care:

- Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc finish.
- While zinc is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh elements might cause it to develop a natural patina over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material and does not affect its functionality.
