FAQs
Are these planters frost-proof?
The planters are made from weather-resistant materials including fiberglass, which generally offers good frost resistance. However, extreme prolonged frost, especially with saturated soil, can potentially cause damage. It is advisable to take precautions in harsh winter climates.
What is the exact material composition?
The planters are constructed from a mix of natural stones, artificial stones, and fiberglass, designed for robustness and weather resistance.
How do I ensure proper drainage for outdoor plants?
For outdoor use, it is recommended to drill a drainage hole in the marked spot on the bottom of the planter to allow excess water to escape and prevent root rot.
Can I use these planters indoors without drilling a hole?
Yes, you can use them indoors without drilling a hole. It is recommended to place a secondary pot inside or use a tray to catch any water, preventing damage to your floors or surfaces.
What are the dimensions of each planter?
Each planter in the set has a diameter of 35 cm.
Are these planters stackable for storage?
The product description does not specify if they are stackable. Due to their tall, round shape, they may not stack efficiently without a specific design for it.
What maintenance is required for the off-white finish?
The off-white finish requires regular cleaning with a damp cloth. Mild soap solutions can be used for tougher dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the surface integrity.
Troubleshooting
Planter seems to hold too much water indoors.
Ensure you are using an inner pot or have a drainage tray to catch excess water. If a drainage hole was drilled for outdoor use, it must be managed carefully indoors.
Difficulty drilling drainage hole.
Use a masonry drill bit and drill slowly and steadily. Consider using a small amount of water to lubricate the drill bit, which can help prevent overheating and dust.
Surface marks or dirt are difficult to remove.
Try a solution of mild soap and water with a soft cloth. For persistent marks, a non-abrasive stone cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Decide on indoor or outdoor placement.
- For outdoor use: Locate the marked spot on the base of the planter and carefully drill a drainage hole using an appropriate drill bit for stone or concrete.
- For indoor use: Place a secondary pot inside the planter, or ensure no drainage hole is drilled to contain water.

These planters are compatible with most standard potting soils and plant types. They are suitable for both small and large plants, provided the root system fits within the 35 cm dimensions. The robust material works well with various planting styles, from succulents to larger foliage plants.
Care:
Clean the planters periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust or any accumulated dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Ensure the planters are dry before storing them if seasonal use is intended.
