FAQs
Does this planter have a drainage hole?
No, the Alma Striped Ceramic Planter is designed without a drainage hole to prevent water from leaking onto indoor surfaces.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
It is intended for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may cause the ceramic to crack, especially in freezing temperatures.
Can I put a plant directly into the planter?
While possible, we recommend using a nursery liner to facilitate watering and root health.
How do I prevent scratches on my furniture?
You can add small felt pads to the bottom of the ceramic base for extra protection.
Is the ceramic finish dishwasher safe?
No, hand washing with a damp cloth is recommended to preserve the finish.
What type of plants work best in this size?
It is ideal for small succulents, trailing ivy, or medium-sized leafy plants that thrive in indoor light.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Since there is no drainage hole, ensure you are using a plastic nursery liner and empty excess water regularly.
Dust buildup in the striped grooves
Use a soft, dry makeup brush or a pressurized air canister to remove dust from the intricate texture of the stripes.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Apply small adhesive felt pads to the underside base to increase friction and protect your furniture surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Alma planter, start by placing a layer of decorative pebbles or a small plastic saucer at the bottom if you plan to plant directly inside. For optimal results, we recommend keeping the plant in its original nursery liner; this makes watering much simpler and protects the integrity of the ceramic. Compatibility-wise, the planter works best with plants that prefer moderate moisture levels. To clean the planter, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that could scratch the finish or damage the decorative striped pattern. If the planter becomes heavily soiled, a mild solution of dish soap and warm water is safe to use on the glazed surface.
