Product Information
Full details
This Primrose White Gloss Polystone Rectangular Trough Planter is ideal for gardeners seeking a stylish and durable container for their plants. Its generous 100cm length makes it perfect for creating impressive window box displays or substantial herb gardens. A key benefit is its Polystone construction, which mimics natural stone while offering superior weather, frost, and UV resistance. The main caveat is that due to its size, delivery is via pallet, and you may need to arrange for its disposal.

FAQs
What is Polystone?
Polystone is a composite material made from crushed limestone (polyester resin) that offers the appearance of real stone but is lighter and more durable against weather, frost, and UV damage.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
Yes, this planter features a drainage hole to prevent overwatering and promote healthy root systems.
How should I clean the planter?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to protect the glossy finish.
What are the benefits of the raised feet?
The raised feet allow for essential air circulation beneath the planter, which helps to keep the plant roots healthy and prevents moisture from sitting at the base.
Can this planter be used indoors?
While durable for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed on a protective surface to catch any potential water from the drainage hole.
Is this planter frost-proof?
Yes, the Polystone material is highly resistant to frost effects.
What is involved in the pallet delivery?
Due to its size, the planter will be delivered on a pallet. You will need to move the planter off the pallet and may need to dispose of the pallet yourself.
Troubleshooting
Pallet disposal after delivery
Be prepared to dispose of the pallet yourself or repurpose it for a garden project. The delivery service may not take the pallet away.
Water pooling despite drainage hole
Ensure the drainage hole is not obstructed by soil or debris. Check that the raised feet are adequately lifting the planter off the ground to allow airflow.
Scratches on the glossy finish
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a non-abrasive car polish. Avoid using harsh cleaning tools or chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
