Troubleshooting
Planter color variation
Color variations are normal due to the use of recycled materials. This is a characteristic of the product and does not affect its functionality.
Water pooling in the planter
Ensure adequate drainage holes have been drilled in the base. If drainage is still poor, consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding compost.
