Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the surface despite drainage holes.
Ensure the drainage holes are not obstructed. If planting directly into the pot, add a layer of gravel or drainage material at the bottom before adding soil. If the issue persists, check if the planter is sitting in a place where water cannot escape.
Metallic finish appears dull or faded.
Wipe the planter with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For a brighter finish, gently polish with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Planter appears to be cracking in cold weather.
While designed to be frost-resistant, extreme temperature fluctuations can stress any material. Ensure the planter is not completely filled with water when freezing, as expanding ice can cause damage. Emptying excess water or moving to a sheltered location during severe cold snaps is recommended.
