Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your planter is straightforward: select a level surface for optimal drainage and stability. While the planter is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, if placing it indoors, ensure you use a saucer beneath it to catch water escaping through the drainage holes. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth or use a duster to remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which could damage the outer coating. During freezing winter months, it is advisable to move the planter to a sheltered area to prevent potential material stress caused by saturated soil expanding as it freezes.
