Troubleshooting

Planter appears unstable outdoors

Due to its lightweight construction, secure the planter in very windy locations by placing heavier stones or bricks at the bottom before adding soil, or by anchoring it to a stable structure if necessary.

Water is not draining effectively

Ensure the drainage hole is not obstructed. Remove the rubber plug if it is intended for outdoor use or for plants that require good drainage.

Color fading over time

The planter is UV-resistant, but extreme prolonged sun exposure might cause minimal fading. Clean with a damp cloth periodically to maintain its appearance.

Setup:

  1. Remove the planter from its packaging.
