FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the planter?
The planter measures 14 cm in length, 14 cm in width, and 12.5 cm in height.
Does the planter come with a plant?
No, the planter is sold separately and does not include a plant. It is designed for you to add your own.
Is the hook adjustable?
The hook is a standard wall hook designed to securely hold the planter. It is not adjustable.
Can this planter be used outdoors?
While made of metal, it is best suited for indoor use to preserve the copper finish and prevent potential weathering damage.
How much does the planter weigh?
The planter weighs approximately 0.55 kg.
Will the copper tarnish?
Yes, copper naturally develops a patina (tarnishes) over time due to oxidation. This is a normal characteristic of the material and adds to its unique charm. You can polish it to restore shine if desired.
Is this planter suitable for large plants?
Due to its compact size (14cm), it is best suited for small to medium-sized plants, herbs, or succulents. Larger plants may not fit comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Planter hook feels loose on the wall
Ensure the wall hook is installed with appropriate anchors for your wall type (e.g., drywall anchors). If the hole is stripped, you may need to use a larger anchor or a different mounting method.
Copper finish appears dull or tarnished
This is natural patina development. To restore shine, use a dedicated copper cleaner and a soft cloth. Alternatively, embrace the aged look.
Water leaking from the planter
This planter is not designed with drainage holes. Use caution when watering to avoid over-saturation. Consider a layer of gravel at the bottom or using a smaller inner pot with drainage.
