FAQs
Are these planters suitable for heavy plants?
These planters are designed for medium-sized plants and flowers. For very large or heavy plants, consider a sturdier or larger container.
Can I drill additional drainage holes?
Yes, the plastic is robust enough to allow for additional drainage holes to be drilled if required for specific plant needs.
What is the volume of each planter?
Each planter has an approximate volume of 8 litres.
Are these planters frost-proof?
The plastic is durable, but extreme frost can potentially make it brittle over time. Storing them in a sheltered location during harsh winters is recommended for longevity.
How do I clean the Venetian design?
A soft cloth with mild soap and water is sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.
What are the exact dimensions?
The approximate external dimensions are 40 cm (length) x 22 cm (width) x 17 cm (height). The inner base measures approximately 30 cm.
Do these planters come with saucers?
No, saucers are not included. For indoor use, you will need to provide separate drip trays to protect surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling in the planter
Ensure the pre-drilled drainage holes are clear and not obstructed by soil or roots. If using indoors, make sure a drip tray is correctly positioned.
Plastic appears faded after prolonged sun exposure
While designed for outdoor use, extreme UV exposure can eventually cause fading. Consider rotating the planter's position or using UV-protective sprays if significant fading is a concern.
Planter feels unstable on a surface
Ensure the surface is level. For outdoor use on uneven surfaces, consider using small shims to stabilize the planter. Do not overfill with soil, as this can add excess weight.
