Troubleshooting
Pot appears to be absorbing excessive moisture
Apply a breathable stone sealant to the interior surface of the pot. Ensure good drainage.
Difficulty cleaning intricate details
Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently clean soil and debris from the wicker pattern details after dampening the area.
Pot seems unstable
Ensure the pot is placed on a level surface. Its heavy nature should provide stability on flat ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Choose a final location for the pot before filling it, as its 35 kg weight makes it difficult to move once positioned.
- Ensure the chosen spot provides adequate drainage, especially if the pot will be placed directly on soil or patio.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use with a wide range of potting soils and composts.
- Ideal for housing perennial plants, shrubs, small trees, and large seasonal floral displays.
- Compatible with most standard plant sizes.
Care:
- Clean periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- For prolonged outdoor use in very damp conditions, consider applying a stone sealant to the interior to prevent excessive moisture absorption.

- During harsh winters, while frost-proof, reducing the amount of water in the pot can offer additional protection.
