Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Salim Robin Planter, ensure you have a suitable plant with a root system that matches the vessel's modest volume. It is recommended to add a small layer of gravel at the base for drainage if the planter does not have pre-drilled holes, preventing water saturation. For care, keep the planter clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. If kept outdoors, bring it inside during extreme weather conditions or freezing temperatures to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the handcrafted materials.
