Does this planter come with drainage holes?
The product description does not explicitly mention pre-drilled drainage holes. It is advisable to add drainage material or create holes if necessary for optimal plant health.
Is a saucer included with the planter?
No, a saucer is not included. The compatible 25cm Square Piazza Decorative Saucer is available for separate purchase.
Can this planter be left outside in winter?
Yes, the planter is frost-proof and designed for all-weather conditions, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.
What type of plants is this planter best suited for?
It is ideal for bedding plants, small shrubs, herbs, and flowers. Its size is well-suited for moderate-sized plants.
How do I clean the planter?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
Is the 'Marble Green' finish prone to scratching?
The premium plastic construction is generally durable, but like most finishes, it can be susceptible to deep scratches. Gentle care is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be damaged on arrival
Inspect the packaging for damage first. If the planter itself is damaged, contact the retailer immediately with photographic evidence for a replacement or refund.
Water pooling at the base of the planter
Ensure adequate drainage material (gravel, crocks) is at the bottom. If planting indoors, use a correctly sized saucer to catch the water. Check if the drainage holes (if any) are blocked.
Surface beneath the planter is getting wet
Use a compatible decorative saucer designed for this planter size to collect any overflow or seepage.
Color fading over time
While UV resistant, extreme prolonged sunlight can cause some fading. Repositioning the planter to an area with partial shade can help mitigate this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Keter Planter is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure the planter is placed on a stable, level surface. For optimal plant health and to prevent waterlogging, it is recommended to add a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom of the planter for drainage. If using indoors or on surfaces sensitive to water, place a compatible saucer beneath the planter.
Compatibility: This planter is designed to be compatible with Keter's 25cm Square Piazza Decorative Saucer, sold separately, which is tailored to fit its base and catch excess water. It is suitable for a wide range of plants, including bedding plants, small shrubs, herbs, and flowers. Ensure the plant's root ball is appropriately sized for the 40cm x 40cm x 41cm dimensions.
Care: Clean the planter periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish. The premium plastic is UV resistant, but prolonged, intense direct sunlight might cause slight fading over many years. Store empty planters upside down during severe winter weather if concerned about ice buildup, though the planter is rated as frost-proof.
