Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These planters require no assembly. They are ready for use upon arrival. If you intend to use a planter with drainage holes for soil-based plants, ensure the selected size has them or consider drilling them carefully. For the large bowl without drainage holes, ensure it is placed on a level surface.
Compatibility:
- Plant Types: Suitable for low-growing plants, succulents, alpines, and small perennials. The large size is compatible with aquatic plants or can be used as a decorative cachepot.
- Soil: Use appropriate potting mix for your chosen plants. If adding drainage holes, consider a layer of gravel at the bottom.
- Placement: Can be placed directly on patios, decks, gravel, or soil surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Maintenance: No special maintenance is required beyond normal gardening practices. Their robust construction means they are largely self-sustaining in terms of material integrity.
- Winter Care: While frost-resistant, storing them in a sheltered location during extreme weather can prolong their lifespan, though it is not strictly necessary.
