Troubleshooting

Planter appears to be leaking indoors.

Ensure the rubber drainage plug is fully and correctly inserted into the drainage hole at the bottom of the planter. Check for any cracks or damage around the plug seal.

Water is pooling in the planter outdoors.

Confirm that the rubber drainage plug has been removed to allow water to escape. If the holes themselves are blocked, gently clear them with a small tool.

Wipe down the planter with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
