The planter is made from quality and durable white stone.
Yes, it is designed for year-round outdoor use and is both waterproof and frost-proof.
The planter comes with two drainage holes.
The dimensions are: Height: 30 cm, Width: 30 cm, Length: 90 cm.
The planter weighs approximately 70 kg.
Due to its significant weight, it is not easily moved once filled. It is best placed in its final location before planting.
Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the planter is correctly positioned and not tilted. Minor 'weeping' from the stone can occur, but significant water loss suggests a potential crack. Inspect thoroughly and contact customer support if damage is found.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For persistent algae, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure good air circulation around the planter.
Gently clear the drainage holes using a small stick or wire to remove any soil, roots, or debris that may be obstructing water flow.
Verify that the planter is placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. Uneven ground can cause instability, especially given its weight.
Setup:
Due to its considerable weight (70 kg), it is highly recommended to determine the final placement of the planter before filling it with soil and plants. Ensure the chosen location provides a stable, level surface to support the planter's weight, especially when wet.
Compatibility:
This planter is designed for use with a wide variety of plants, suitable for both outdoor gardens and indoor spaces. Its robust construction makes it compatible with all standard potting soils and drainage materials. It is engineered to work with seasonal planting schemes, herb gardens, or as a permanent home for established plants.
Care:
To maintain its antique-look finish, clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the intricate details. For stubborn dirt or algae, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing. Ensure the drainage holes remain clear of debris to facilitate proper water flow. While frost-proof, prolonged exposure to extreme freezing temperatures with standing water inside could potentially cause damage; ensure drainage is adequate. Storage in a sheltered area during harsh winter months can further prolong its pristine appearance, though it is designed for year-round outdoor exposure.
