FAQs

What is the exact volume of each planter?

Each planter has a volume of approximately 10 litres.

Are the drainage holes pre-made?

No, the planters have pierceable drainage holes. You can easily create the holes yourself by pushing through the marked areas on the base.

Can these planters be used for edible plants?

Yes, they are suitable for growing herbs and vegetables, provided they are cleaned properly and are made from food-safe plastic (typical for UK manufactured gardenware).

What are the dimensions of each planter?

Each planter measures approximately 30 cm in diameter and 22 cm in height.

How many planters are included in this set?

This set includes three (3) plastic planters.

Can I stack these planters when not in use?

While not specifically designed for stacking, their shape may allow for some nesting, but care should be taken to avoid damage.

Are these planters frost-resistant?

The heavy-duty plastic is generally frost-resistant, but extreme temperature fluctuations can affect plastic. It's advisable to empty and store them or protect them during severe frost periods for maximum longevity.

Troubleshooting

Planter feels flimsy before drainage holes are pierced

The plastic is designed to be durable. Once drainage holes are created and the planter is filled with soil and a plant, it will gain structural integrity. Ensure you are using the correct method to pierce the pre-marked areas.

Waterlogging despite drainage holes

Ensure sufficient drainage holes have been created. If using on a solid surface, consider elevating the planter slightly to allow water to escape freely. Check that the holes are not blocked by soil or debris.

Discoloration after prolonged sun exposure

While designed for outdoor use, extreme and continuous UV exposure over many years can cause some fading. This is normal for plastic. Consider rotating planters or using UV-protectant sprays if severe discoloration is a concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting construction
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments
  • Convenient set of three for multiple planting needs
  • Made in the UK
  • Pierceable drainage holes offer flexibility

Cons

  • Basic aesthetic may not appeal to all design preferences
  • Plastic material can degrade under prolonged extreme UV exposure over many years
  • 10-litre volume may be limiting for very large or deep-rooted plants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These planters come ready to use. To enable drainage, locate the pre-marked circular areas on the base of the planter. Gently push a sharp object, such as a screwdriver or a piece of wood, through these areas to create drainage holes. The number of holes can be adjusted based on the specific needs of the plant being housed.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard potting soils and composts. Suitable for a wide range of plants including annuals, perennials, herbs, and small shrubs. Can be used with or without a saucer, depending on indoor/outdoor placement and watering needs.

Care: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which could scratch the plastic surface. Store in a dry place during off-season if desired, though they are designed for outdoor resilience.
