Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Garden Planter set is designed for urban gardeners and homeowners looking to maximize small outdoor spaces like balconies and patios. These six modular boxes offer the significant benefit of a built-in hydration system, making them ideal for growing herbs, flowers, or small fruits with minimal daily maintenance. While the thermoplastic rubber construction is highly durable and weather-resistant, users should note that the modular stacking system requires a flat, stable surface to ensure the full vertical arrangement remains secure during high winds.

FAQs
Can these planters be mounted to a wall?
Yes, but you will need to provide appropriate mounting hardware and wall brackets to ensure they are securely supported.
What are the dimensions of each box?
The set totals 39.4 inches in width when arranged, with each of the 6 boxes sharing modular dimensions for easy integration.
Are they safe for growing edible fruits and herbs?
Yes, the thermoplastic rubber material is safe for horticultural use.
Do I need to drill holes for drainage?
No, the planters are designed with an internal hydration and overflow system, so no additional drilling is necessary.
How do I clean the planters?
Simply use water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff wire brushes that could scratch the surface.
Can I leave these outside during winter?
The material is weather-resistant, but emptying the reservoirs before freezing temperatures is recommended to protect the plastic from ice stress.
Troubleshooting
Planter stack feels unstable
Ensure the base unit is placed on a completely level surface and check that all interlocking tabs are fully engaged.
Soil remains overly saturated
Verify that the drainage overflow path is clear of debris or root clippings to allow excess water to exit the reservoir.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your system, start on a level patio or balcony floor to ensure the weight is distributed evenly. When stacking, ensure each unit 'locks' into the one below to prevent tipping. While the material is UV-resistant, it is good practice to occasionally wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to maintain the finish. If you live in an area with extreme winter freezing, we recommend emptying the reservoirs before the first frost to prevent ice expansion damage within the internal components.
