FAQs

What is the material of the planter?

The planter is made of galvanised zinc with a copper finish.

Does the planter have drainage holes?

Typically, metal planters are designed with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Please check the base of your planter.

How do I maintain the copper finish?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. The finish may develop a natural patina over time, which is a characteristic of metal outdoor items. Specialized metal polishes can be used with care.

Can this planter be used indoors?

While designed for outdoor use due to its weather resistance, it can be used indoors. However, ensure proper drainage and use a tray to protect surfaces from water.

What is the size of the planter?

This particular model is 70cm in size.

Will the copper finish rust?

The planter is made of galvanised zinc with a copper finish, designed for high resistance to the elements. Rusting is unlikely, though some surface oxidation or patination may occur over time.

Troubleshooting

Planter shows signs of corrosion.

Ensure drainage holes are clear to prevent waterlogging. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a metal polish designed for copper or zinc might be used cautiously, following product instructions.

Finish appears dull or discolored.

This may be natural patination. Clean with a damp cloth. If a brighter finish is desired, a specialized metal polish suitable for copper or zinc finishes can be applied, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Planter feels unstable.

Ensure the planter is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface. If the ground is uneven, use shims to level it. Avoid placing on soft or shifting ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant copper finish complements plant life.
  • Galvanised zinc construction offers excellent weather resistance.
  • Stylish, contemporary design enhances garden aesthetics.
  • Durable build ensures long-term use outdoors.
  • Generous 70cm size accommodates large plants.

Cons

  • Substantial 70cm size may require significant space.
  • Copper finish may develop a patina over time, altering its appearance.
  • As a metal planter, it can heat up in direct sunlight, potentially affecting plant roots.
  • Weight when filled with soil and plants can make it difficult to move.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the planter is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
  2. Consider its final location before filling, as it will be heavy when planted.
  3. Add a drainage layer (e.g., gravel, broken pottery) at the bottom if your plants require exceptional drainage, although metal planters often have drainage holes.
  4. Fill with appropriate potting soil for your chosen plants.

Compatibility:

  • This planter is compatible with a wide range of plants, from flowers and shrubs to small trees and vegetables.
  • Ensure the plant's root system is suitable for the planter's depth and width.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
  • While resistant to the elements, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture without drainage could impact longevity.
