The Elho Green Basics Trough 60cm in Leaf Green is an ideal solution for urban gardeners, balcony enthusiasts, and those looking to brighten up their windowsills with fresh herbs or flowers. This durable, rectangular planter offers a generous 9.5-liter capacity while remaining lightweight, though users should note that the plastic construction requires careful placement in high-wind areas due to its 350g weight.

Yes, it can be used indoors, provided you use a tray underneath to catch any water that drains from the bottom.
While the material is durable, we recommend moving it to a sheltered area during hard frosts to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over time.
The trough is designed to accommodate plants with a pot size of approximately 16cm in diameter.
No, this is a standalone trough and does not include an integrated drainage saucer.
Elho uses 100% recycled plastics that are generally food-safe, making them suitable for growing herbs and vegetables.
Ensure you are using a dedicated metal bracket compatible with a 60cm trough to securely attach the unit to the railing.
Check that your drainage holes are not blocked by debris or compacted soil; drill additional small holes in the base if you require faster drainage.
Mix in organic matter like coconut coir or water-retention granules to help maintain consistent moisture levels in the plastic trough.
Setting up your Elho Green Basics Trough is straightforward. Simply place your plants directly into the trough with potting mix or insert individual 16cm pots for easier rotation. For maintenance, the plastic surface is easy to clean; use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust or mineral deposits. Because the material is non-porous, ensure your potting soil has adequate drainage, as the trough does not feature inherent moisture-wicking properties like terracotta. Store in a sheltered spot during extreme winter conditions to prolong the lifespan of the recycled plastic material.
