Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This vase requires no assembly. Simply unbox it, choose your desired location, and it's ready for planting. We recommend preparing your plant with suitable potting soil before placing it in the vase. For live plants, ensure the drainage hole is clear.
Compatibility
- Plants: Compatible with a wide variety of plants, both real and artificial. Its 50 cm height makes it suitable for medium to large plants, or multiple smaller plants.
- Locations: Designed for outdoor use on terraces, patios, front doors, balconies, and garden spaces. It can also be used indoors as a decorative piece for artificial arrangements, or for live plants if placed on a protective saucer to catch drainage.
- Style: The vintage-style, ribbed galvanised iron aesthetic blends well with rustic, industrial, modern farmhouse, and contemporary outdoor decors.
Care
- Cleaning: To maintain its appearance, gently wipe the vase with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scouring pads, which could damage the galvanised finish.
- Drainage: Regularly check the in-built drainage hole to ensure it remains clear of soil or debris to prevent water accumulation.
- Seasonal Maintenance: While resistant to frost and rust, an occasional inspection, especially after harsh weather, is recommended to ensure its longevity. No special winter storage is typically required due to its robust design.
- Protecting Surfaces: If using indoors, always place a protective saucer or tray underneath the vase to prevent water leakage from the drainage hole from damaging flooring or furniture.
