The Idealist Contemporary square planter is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts who want the sophisticated, heavy-duty aesthetic of concrete without the excessive weight. With a spacious 195-litre capacity, it is perfect for framing entryways or anchoring large patio arrangements, though its substantial size makes it less suitable for frequent mobility once filled with soil.
Yes, it arrives with pre-drilled drainage holes to prevent overwatering.
Yes, the fiber-reinforced stone material is frost-proof and designed for year-round outdoor use.
You will need approximately 195 litres of potting mix, though you can use lightweight filler material at the bottom to reduce the amount of soil required.
It is made of fiber-reinforced stone, which mimics the look and feel of concrete but is lighter and more durable against cracking.
Use a soft brush and clean water to gently wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Check that the drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked by roots or debris and ensure the surface beneath is level.
Ensure the patio or surface is perfectly flat. If necessary, use small rubber shims under one corner to level it out.
Add a layer of mulch on the top surface of the soil to retain moisture or mix water-retaining crystals into the potting soil during setup.
Setting up your planter is straightforward due to the pre-drilled holes; however, ensure you place the container on a hard, level surface to prevent uneven weight distribution. If placing on a delicate wood deck, you may want to use plant risers or a base tray to allow for better airflow and to protect the decking finish from constant dampness.
Care is minimal: simply rinse with water and a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Because the material is frost-proof, you do not need to move the planters indoors during winter, but ensure the drainage holes remain clear so that freezing water does not get trapped within the soil.
