FAQs
What material is the Dibor planter made from?
The planter is made from hard-wearing fibre clay, known for its durability and resistance.
Can this planter be used outdoors year-round?

Does the planter come with drainage holes?
While designed for planting, it's recommended to ensure adequate drainage. If drainage holes are not pre-drilled or sufficient, consider adding them to prevent waterlogging.
Is the terracotta color likely to fade over time?
The colour is generally stable, but like most outdoor items, prolonged intense sun exposure might cause slight fading over many years.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the base of the planter
Ensure drainage holes are clear and adequate. If necessary, add a layer of gravel or drainage material at the bottom before adding soil.
Discoloration or moss growth on the exterior
Gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. For stubborn marks, a diluted vinegar solution can be used cautiously.
Planter feels unstable
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. For outdoor use, consider securing it if in a high-wind area, especially when planted.
