FAQs

What is Polystone?

Polystone is a composite material made from polyresin and stone powder. It is known for its durability, weather resistance, and ability to mimic the appearance of natural stone.

Is the planter frost-proof?

Yes, the Polystone material is highly resistant to frost, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Do I need to drill a drainage hole?

No, the planter comes with a pre-drilled drainage hole to prevent waterlogging.

Can this planter be used indoors?

While durable, it is designed for outdoor use. If used indoors, ensure adequate protection for surfaces beneath and manage watering carefully to prevent spills.

How do I clean the glossy finish?

Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt or water spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of the planter?

The planter is 80cm in length. Specific width and height dimensions can be found in the product specifications.

What should I do with the delivery pallet?

Due to its size and weight, the planter is delivered on a pallet. You may need to dispose of it responsibly or find a creative use for it in your garden.

Troubleshooting

Planter arrived on a damaged pallet

Inspect the planter for any damage upon arrival. If the planter is undamaged, proceed with setup. If the planter is damaged, contact customer support with photographic evidence.

Water pooling around the planter

Ensure the drainage hole is not obstructed. If placed on a solid surface, consider using small risers or pebbles beneath the feet to improve drainage and airflow.

White residue on the planter surface

This may be mineral deposits from water. Wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For tougher spots, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective, followed by rinsing.
