FAQs
Does this pot have drainage holes?

What size plants is this pot suitable for?
It measures 11cm in diameter, making it ideal for small to medium-sized plants, such as succulents, herbs, or starter plants.
Can I use this pot outdoors?

How should I water plants in a pot without drainage?

How do I clean the pot?

Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom
Water sparingly. Consider adding a layer of pebbles or a perforated inner pot to aid drainage.
Mineral deposits or white stains on the surface
These are natural efflorescence from cement. You can try gently scrubbing with a soft brush and water, or a very diluted vinegar solution (test in an inconspicuous area first).
