FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The planter measures 58cm in height, 35cm in width, and 35cm in depth (H58cm x W35cm x D35cm).

What is the weight of the planter?

The planter weighs 4kg when empty.

Is the 'oxidised-metal effect' a real metal finish?

No, it is an effect applied to the material to mimic the appearance of aged metal, providing durability and a rustic look.

Can this planter be used indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if proper precautions are taken to protect flooring from water and soil. Ensure adequate drainage management.

What type of plants are best suited for this planter?

Its large size is suitable for bold floral arrangements, cascading greenery, or seasonal planting displays. Consider plants with similar water and light needs.

How should I clean the planter?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Is assembly required?

No assembly is required. The planter is ready to be placed and filled upon arrival.

Troubleshooting

Planter appears to be tipping or unstable.

Ensure the ground where the planter is placed is perfectly level and firm. If necessary, use shims to stabilize the base. Check that the soil is evenly distributed within the planter.

The 'oxidised-metal effect' finish seems to be fading or uneven.

Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth. For minor touch-ups, specific metal effect paints or sealants might be considered, following product instructions carefully.

Water is not draining adequately, leading to plant root rot.

Ensure there are sufficient drainage holes at the base of the planter. Add a layer of gravel or larger stones at the bottom before adding soil to improve drainage. Avoid overwatering.

Planter is difficult to reposition after planting.

Plan the final placement before filling the planter with soil. If repositioning is necessary, empty the soil and plants first. Consider using a plant caddy or dolly for easier movement.
