FAQs
What is polystone made of?
Polystone is a composite material made from unsaturated resin mixed with powdered stone additives, giving it a stone-like finish while being lighter and more durable than natural stone.
Can this planter be left outside in winter?
The polystone material is durable for outdoor use. However, for prolonged aesthetic preservation, especially in regions with harsh frosts, it is advisable to protect it or store it indoors during extreme winter conditions.
How do I ensure proper drainage?
The planter comes with pre-drilled drainage holes. For outdoor use where water needs to escape, ensure the included bung is removed. If you wish to use it indoors or control water flow, insert the bung.
What is the weight of the planter?
While lighter than stone, the exact weight is not specified, but it is designed to be manageable for repositioning when empty, offering a significant weight advantage over traditional stone planters of similar size.
How should I clean the hand-painted finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the painted surface.
What are the exact dimensions of the planter?
The planter dimensions are: Height: 40cm, Length: 80cm, Depth: 30cm.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be leaking
Ensure the bung is securely in place if you intend to retain water. If the leak persists, check the planter for cracks. Minor cracks can sometimes be repaired with appropriate epoxy for polystone.
Surface finish looks dull or dirty
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Plants are not thriving
Check if the drainage holes are clear and the bung is removed if necessary. Ensure appropriate soil mix and watering schedule for your specific plants. Consider the planter's placement regarding sunlight.
