Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the planter on a flat, stable surface. If using this for live plants, it is recommended to line the interior with a plastic planter insert or a garden liner to protect the wood from prolonged direct soil contact, which can speed up rot. Since the planter does not have pre-drilled drainage holes, you may wish to drill a few small holes in the bottom if you are planting directly inside to ensure adequate water runoff. For care, keep the wood clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth and consider applying an outdoor wood preservative annually if the unit will be exposed to rain or direct UV light.
