FAQs
Does this planter have drainage holes?
No, the Ivyline Kew Stoneware Meadow Planter is designed without drainage holes, making it perfect for use as a decorative cover pot.
Can I use this planter outdoors?
This product is intended for indoor use. Outdoor exposure may cause the reactive glaze to degrade or the stoneware to become susceptible to frost damage.
What is the weight of the planter?
The planter weighs approximately 2.15 kg, providing a very sturdy and stable base.
What are the exact dimensions?
The dimensions are 17.5 cm in length, 17.5 cm in width, and 18 cm in height.
How do I care for the surface finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads that could damage the reactive glaze.
Is it safe to plant directly into the ceramic?
While possible, you must manage water carefully. We recommend placing a layer of drainage material like clay pebbles at the bottom to catch excess water.
Troubleshooting
Water accumulation at the bottom
Use a plastic inner liner rather than planting directly, or ensure you only water the plant once it has drained completely from the nursery pot.
Glaze looks dusty or dull
Gently clean the surface with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water and buff dry to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your planter in optimal condition, consider the following:
- Drainage Preparation: Since there are no drainage holes, place a layer of leca (expanded clay pebbles) at the bottom if planting directly, though using a nursery liner is strongly recommended.
- Surface Protection: Given the stoneware base, place felt pads on the bottom if setting the planter on delicate wooden furniture to prevent surface scratches.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and maintain the luster of the reactive glaze. Avoid using harsh chemical abrasives or steel wool, as these can scratch the glazed surface.
- Placement: Ensure the planter is kept indoors to maintain the integrity of the finish, as extreme temperature fluctuations and UV exposure may impact the reactive glaze over long periods.
