FAQs
Can these planters be used indoors?
Yes, they are suitable for indoor use. However, if you leave the drainage holes open, ensure you use a saucer underneath to protect your surfaces from water runoff.
What is the capacity of each planter?
Each planter has an approximate volume of 8 litres.
Do these come with mounting brackets?
No, the set includes four planters only. Brackets or hanging hardware must be purchased separately if you plan to mount them to a wall or railing.
Are the drainage holes already open?
No, they are pre-marked but require you to manually drill or punch through them before use.
Will the brown color fade?
While the plastic is durable and designed for outdoor use, all materials may experience slight fading over extended periods of intense, direct UV exposure.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Ensure that the pre-marked drainage holes have been fully opened and are not blocked by debris or soil.
Planter tipping over in high winds
Use heavier potting media or add a layer of drainage stones at the bottom to increase the base weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your planters for use, locate the pre-marked spots on the underside and carefully drill or puncture them to create drainage holes. This is critical for preventing root rot. When choosing plants, the 30cm inner base accommodates a variety of bedding plants, herbs, or small perennials. For cleaning, simply wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth and mild soap during seasonal changeovers. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the finish. Ensure the surface where the planters are placed is level to prevent uneven soil distribution and potential water pooling.
