Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its considerable weight of 60 kg, it is recommended to have assistance when moving the planter to its desired location. Ensure the ground is level and stable to prevent tipping. Consider placing it permanently before filling with soil.
Compatibility: This planter is suitable for a wide range of plants, from flowering annuals and perennials to shrubs and small trees. It is compatible with standard potting mixes and garden soil.
Care: The planter is made from reconstituted stone and concrete, designed for durability and weather resistance. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust or light dirt. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. While frost-proof, extreme prolonged freezing temperatures could potentially cause minor surface damage over many years; ensuring good drainage can help mitigate this.
