Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom
Ensure you are using an inner pot with drainage holes, or water sparingly and allow excess to evaporate. Consider adding a layer of pebbles at the base for better drainage.
Surface marks or stains
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Cracking or chipping
Handle with care, especially when moving the pot. Avoid dropping or impact. Protect from extreme temperature fluctuations and frost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This pot is ready to use straight out of the box. Simply place your existing plant (still in its nursery pot) inside the cache pot, or repot your plant into a suitable inner pot that fits within these dimensions. Ensure the inner pot has drainage holes.
Compatibility: This pot is designed to hold a plant in a separate inner pot or to be used with careful watering if planting directly. It is compatible with most common indoor and outdoor plants that fit within its size constraints.
Care: Clean the pot with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matt finish or painted surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the pot is dry before placing plants inside to prevent moisture build-up. It is not frost-proof and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
