Product Information
Full details
The VidaXL Square Garden Planter is an ideal solution for homeowners and apartment dwellers looking to elevate their outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, or garden corners, with a durable and stylish plant display. This planter provides a substantial 40x40x40 cm capacity, offering plenty of root space for flowers, herbs, or small shrubs while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. While its powder-coated steel frame and PE rattan construction offer excellent weather resistance, users should note that the planter is static and best placed on a level surface to ensure long-term stability and to prevent potential tipping of the lightweight structure when fully planted.

FAQs
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
The planter does not come pre-drilled with drainage holes. It is recommended to create small holes in the bottom of the liner and the frame if you are planting directly into it.
Can I leave this planter outside all year?
Yes, the PE rattan and powder-coated steel are designed for outdoor use; however, covering it or moving it to a sheltered area during extreme weather can extend its longevity.
Is the inner bag removable?
Yes, the plastic inner bag is removable, making it easier to clean the planter or replace soil as needed.
What is the weight capacity of the planter?
The planter is designed to support the weight of soil and standard plant root systems typical for a 40x40x40 cm container.
Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors; however, since it lacks a drainage tray, ensure you place it on a mat or waterproof surface to protect your flooring.
Does the black color fade in direct sunlight?
The high-quality PE rattan is specifically chosen for its resistance to UV rays, meaning it is designed to retain its color even after prolonged exposure to the sun.
Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable on uneven ground
Adjust the ground surface or place the planter on a stable, level patio tile to ensure all four corners are supported.
Water pooling inside the planter
Check the plastic liner; if you require drainage, carefully poke small holes in the bottom of the liner and the planter base to allow excess water to escape.
Rattan surface shows dust or debris
Use a damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the rattan. A low-pressure garden hose can be used for deep cleaning, provided it is allowed to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is designed to be straightforward for DIY enthusiasts. Simply follow the provided instruction manual to align the PE rattan panels with the powder-coated steel frame. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly to maintain the structural integrity of the cube shape.
Compatibility & Care:
- Placement: Place the planter on a flat, even surface. Avoid placing it on steep inclines to prevent it from tipping.
- Cleaning: To keep the rattan finish looking new, wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth dipped in mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners that may scratch the surface.
- Seasonal Care: While weather-resistant, moving the planter to a covered patio during severe winter storms or prolonged freezing conditions will significantly extend its lifespan.
