Troubleshooting
Planter is not secure on the wall.
Ensure appropriate fixings for your wall type are used and have been installed correctly. Check that screws are fully tightened.
Water pooling in the planter.
Ensure there are adequate drainage holes at the base of the planter. If not present, small holes can be carefully drilled.
Green algae or moss growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its weight, secure mounting is essential. Choose a sturdy wall or fence. Use appropriate heavy-duty wall plugs and screws suitable for the mounting surface and the planter's weight (3 kg). Ensure the planter is level before fully tightening fixings.
Compatibility: This planter is designed for mounting on solid vertical surfaces like brick walls, rendered walls, or robust wooden fences. It is compatible with a wide range of small plants, flowers, and herbs with shallow root systems.
Care: To maintain its appearance, clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the stone finish. In areas prone to frost, consider bringing the planter indoors or ensuring it is completely dry during winter to prevent freeze-thaw damage to the stone.
