Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable
Ensure the planter is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Check that each tier is securely seated into the one below it.
Water pooling in lower tiers
Verify that the drainage holes at the bottom of each tier are clear and not obstructed by soil or roots. Ensure the planter is not overfilled with soil.
Soil drying out too quickly
