Product Information
Full details
The True Products Oslo Rippled Plant Pot is an ideal choice for design-conscious homeowners and gardeners looking to elevate their indoor or outdoor greenery with a contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic. Featuring a sophisticated charcoal black finish and a modern rippled texture, this lightweight planter provides the visual appeal of heavy stone without the physical burden, making it perfect for those who enjoy rearranging their displays. However, users should note that as it is made of plastic, it lacks the natural insulation properties of traditional terracotta or stone, which may require extra attention to soil moisture levels during extreme seasonal temperature changes.

FAQs
Can this pot be used directly in the sun?
Yes, the plastic construction is durable and suitable for outdoor use, though it should be monitored for heat absorption in extreme direct sunlight.
Does the pot come with drainage holes?
The pot is designed for versatility. Depending on your needs, you may need to add or customize drainage holes at the base for outdoor use.
How do I move the pot once filled?
While the plastic is lightweight, a full 16-litre pot can become heavy once filled with soil and water. We recommend moving the pot before planting or using a plant caddy with wheels.
Is this pot frost-proof?
While durable, plastic can become brittle in extreme sub-zero temperatures. It is recommended to bring the pot indoors or into a sheltered area during deep winter freezes.
What is the maximum width of the planting area?
The opening of the pot is 23cm wide, which accommodates a standard nursery pot or a root ball of that approximate size.
Troubleshooting
Pot feels unstable in windy garden areas
Add a layer of heavy gravel or decorative stones to the base of the pot before adding soil to increase its center of gravity.
Water pooling at the base
Ensure you have drilled adequate drainage holes in the bottom if the pot was supplied without them, or increase the size of existing holes.
Surface appears dusty or faded
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid direct, high-pressure washing which may dull the finish over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Oslo planter is straightforward. If using outdoors, check if your specific plant requires high-drainage soil, as you may need to drill supplemental drainage holes in the base depending on the plant type. For indoor use, always place a protective saucer underneath to catch excess moisture and protect flooring surfaces.
To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust or mud. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the rippled surface finish and dull the charcoal black color. During freezing winter temperatures, if the pot is kept outdoors, consider moving it to a shed or garage to prevent potential stress on the plastic material.
