FAQs
Does this planter have drainage holes?
No, it does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes.
Can I leave this planter outside all year?
Yes, it is made of durable zinc, but it is recommended to keep it in a sheltered area during harsh winter months to prolong its life.
What is the height of the planter?
The planter stands 25.5cm high.
Is the planter lightweight?
It is made of metal and has a sturdy, solid feel, making it heavier than plastic alternatives but stable for outdoor use.
Will the metal rust over time?
Zinc is corrosion-resistant, but over a long period, it may develop a unique 'patina' or weathered look when exposed to extreme outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water collecting at the base of the planter
Use an inner plastic liner or drill small holes in the bottom if you intend to plant directly in the vessel.
Surface marks or fingerprints appearing on the zinc
Use a microfiber cloth with a small amount of warm soapy water to gently wipe the exterior clean.
Planter becoming too hot in direct sun
Position the planter in partial shade or ensure it is filled with a thick layer of soil to insulate the roots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the planter for use, decide whether you intend to plant directly into the zinc or use a secondary pot. If planting directly, place a layer of gravel or expanded clay pebbles at the bottom to manage root moisture, as the planter is sealed.
For maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or garden debris. To maintain the original lustre, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the zinc coating. If the planter is kept outdoors, consider applying a thin coat of clear outdoor-safe metal wax annually to protect the finish from oxidation during heavy rainy seasons.
