Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your planter, decide on the placement first. If using outdoors, mark the center of the base and drill 3-4 small holes for drainage to prevent root rot. For indoor use, keep the base sealed to protect floors. When planting, fill the bottom third with lightweight expanded clay aggregate to save on potting soil and improve aeration. Care involves simply wiping the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that might strip the powder-coated finish. During extreme winter conditions, bringing the planter into a garage or shed can further extend its pristine appearance.
