FAQs

What material is the planter made from?

The planter is made from poly-terrazzo, a durable composite material consisting of unsaturated resin mixed with powdered stone additives and crushed granite.

Does the planter have a drainage hole?

Yes, the planter features a drainage hole to prevent overwatering. A bung is also included to cover the hole if needed.

Is this planter suitable for indoor use?

Yes, it can be used indoors, but it is recommended to use the included bung to cover the drainage hole and place the planter on a protective mat to prevent water damage to surfaces.

How heavy is the planter?

While it has a stone-like appearance, poly-terrazzo is significantly lighter than natural stone, making it easier to move, especially when empty. Its exact weight is not specified but expect it to be substantial due to its size.

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The planter measures 79cm in height, with a length and depth of 40cm each.

Can this planter withstand freezing temperatures?

Poly-terrazzo is durable but can be susceptible to frost damage. It's advisable to protect it or move it to a sheltered location during harsh winter conditions.

How should I clean the planter?

Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Planter appears to be sweating or showing moisture on the outside.

This is often due to condensation from temperature differences. Ensure the drain hole is clear and that the planter isn't sitting in standing water. If indoors, place on a protective mat.

Drainage hole is blocked.

Gently clear any soil or debris blocking the drain hole using a stick or wire. Ensure the bung is correctly inserted if it's causing an obstruction.

Surface scratches or scuffs.

Minor surface marks can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consult with a specialist in composite materials, though typically they are robust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, contemporary design suitable for high-end settings.
  • Extremely durable and long-lasting material.
  • Lighter than comparable stone planters, aiding in placement.
  • Sufficiently large for substantial plants or visual impact.
  • Drainage hole prevents root rot, with an included bung for versatility.

Cons

  • Large size may not be suitable for very small spaces.
  • Poly-terrazzo can be more susceptible to extreme frost damage than some other materials.
  • The speckled finish, while stylish, may not suit all garden themes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the final placement for the planter, considering its substantial size and weight when filled.
  2. If desired, insert the provided bung into the drainage hole to prevent soil loss or water leakage if using indoors or in a location where drainage is not needed.
  3. Fill the planter with appropriate soil mix for your chosen plants. Ensure good drainage by adding a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom if necessary, especially if the bung is in place.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for a wide range of plants, from flowers and shrubs to small trees and ornamental grasses.
  • Ideal for patios, balconies, roof terraces, gardens, and commercial outdoor spaces.
  • Works well with contemporary, minimalist, and modern garden designs.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • While durable, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme frost. In harsh winter climates, consider moving the planter to a sheltered location or protecting it.
  • Ensure the drainage hole is clear of obstructions, especially during wet seasons.
