Troubleshooting
Drilling drainage holes is difficult.
Use a sharp drill bit designed for plastic. Start with a smaller bit to create a pilot hole, then use a larger bit if needed. Ensure the planter is stable on a flat surface while drilling.
Planters appear faded after prolonged sun exposure.
While durable, prolonged extreme UV exposure can eventually affect plastic. Consider moving planters to a location with partial shade during peak sun hours or use a UV protectant spray suitable for plastics.
Water pooling inside despite drilled holes.
Ensure the drilled holes are of sufficient size and number for the amount of water the plant requires. Check that the holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Elevate the planter slightly if it sits directly on a solid surface where water can't escape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drainage: The planters feature pre-marked drill points on the base. To create drainage holes, use a suitable drill bit (e.g., a spade bit or twist bit appropriate for plastic) and carefully drill through these marked areas. The number and size of holes can be customized based on plant needs and whether you're using them for direct planting or as pot covers.
- Planting: Once drainage is established (if needed), fill with appropriate potting mix and plant your chosen flora.
Compatibility:
- These planters are compatible with standard potting soils and composts.
- They can be used with most types of plants, from annuals and perennials to herbs and small shrubs, provided adequate drainage is ensured.
- They function effectively for direct planting or as decorative external containers for standard nursery pots.
Care:
- Cleaning: To maintain their appearance, clean the planters periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic surface.
- Storage: While designed for year-round outdoor use, storing them in a sheltered location during extreme weather or prolonged periods of frost can help prolong their lifespan.
- Maintenance: Periodically check drilled drainage holes to ensure they are clear of debris.
