FAQs
Does this planter have a drainage hole?
No, this cement planter does not have a drainage hole, so it is recommended to keep your plant in a plastic nursery pot inside.
Can I use this planter outdoors?
While the material is durable, it is specifically designed and intended for indoor decor use.
How heavy is the planter?
The planter is constructed from solid cement and has significant weight, which provides stability for larger plants.
Will this scratch my wooden floors?
Cement is an abrasive material. It is recommended to use felt pads on the bottom to protect sensitive flooring surfaces.
How do I clean the cement surface?
Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting. Avoid heavy water saturation or chemical detergents.
Troubleshooting
White powdery residue appearing on the exterior
This is known as efflorescence; wipe it off with a dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush.
Planter feels unstable on uneven floor
Use adhesive furniture felt pads of varying thicknesses on the base to level the planter.

- Material is prone to scratching delicate surfaces if not cushioned
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your planter, ensure the chosen surface is structurally sound enough to support the weight of the cement and a plant. For floor placement, consider using felt pads on the base to prevent scratches to hardwood or tile flooring. To clean, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the surface becomes stained, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could penetrate the porous cement surface. If you intend to plant directly inside, ensure you add a layer of pebbles or charcoal at the bottom to allow for limited moisture management, though using an internal liner is strongly advised for longevity.
