FAQs
What is the exact capacity of each planter?
Each planter has an approximate volume of 8 litres.
Are the drainage holes large enough?
The planters come with pierce drainage holes designed for adequate water flow. If they appear partially closed, they can be easily opened further.
Can these planters be used for vegetables?
Yes, they are suitable for growing herbs and smaller vegetable varieties that do not require extensive root systems.
What are the dimensions of the planter?
The approximate product size is 40cm in length, 22cm in width, and 17cm in height, with an inner base of 30cm.
How should I clean these planters?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I paint these planters?
While not recommended, if you choose to paint, use a plastic-compatible primer and paint. However, painting may affect the durability of the plastic and its finish over time.
Are these planters frost-proof?
The planters are designed for outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to harsh frost can potentially weaken the plastic over time. Storing them indoors during severe winter conditions is recommended for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling despite drainage holes
Ensure the pierce drainage holes are fully open and not blocked by debris. If necessary, carefully re-open them with a suitable tool.
Plastic appears faded or brittle over time
This can occur with prolonged, intense UV exposure. Consider bringing the planters indoors during peak summer or harsh weather seasons to extend their life.
Planter feels unstable when filled
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. For window sills, use appropriate mounting hardware or brackets if needed for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These planters require no assembly. Simply remove them from their packaging and fill with your preferred potting soil. If the pierce drainage holes are not fully open, gently push through with a finger or tool to ensure proper water flow.
Compatibility: These planters are compatible with a wide range of common potting soils and plant types, from annual flowers and perennials to herbs and small vegetables. They are suitable for use with standard window box brackets or can be placed directly on flat surfaces.
Care: To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the plastic. It is advisable to bring planters indoors during harsh winter months or extreme weather conditions to prolong their lifespan, though they are designed for outdoor use.
