Troubleshooting
Pot appears to be fading significantly.
While UV-resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can still cause minor fading over many years. Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning chemicals. A gentle wash with water and mild soap should suffice.
Waterlogging despite drainage holes.
Check that the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Ensure the pot is not sitting in a puddle and that the soil mixture provides adequate aeration.
Difficulty moving the pot when filled.
While lighter than stone, the pot is still large. Use a plant caddy or dolly for easier transportation once filled with soil and a plant. Consider filling the pot in its final location if movement is a concern.
