FAQs
Can I leave this planter outside all year?
While the material is durable, it is recommended to bring it inside or keep it in a sheltered area during harsh winter months to prevent damage.
Does the planter come with a drainage tray?
No, the planter includes a built-in drainage hole but does not include a separate catch tray. We recommend using a saucer if placing it on delicate indoor surfaces.
What are the exact dimensions?
The planter measures 14cm in height, 31cm in width, and 17cm in depth.
Is this suitable for growing vegetables?
It is better suited for small herbs, succulents, or decorative flowers rather than vegetables, which typically require much deeper root space.
Is the finish waterproof?
The exterior finish is decorative and moisture-resistant for standard use, but the planter is primarily designed to hold soil and plants, not to act as a watertight vessel.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on surfaces
Ensure the drainage hole is not blocked by soil or debris; use a saucer underneath for indoor placement.
Plants are drying out too quickly
Check if the planter is in direct, intense sunlight for too long; consider moving it to an area with partial shade or increasing watering frequency.
Exterior finish looking dull
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust; avoid abrasive scrubbing brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Sheep Herd Planter, begin by placing a small layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom to assist with drainage before adding your potting soil. When selecting plants, opt for those with shallow root systems, such as succulents, sempervivums, or culinary herbs. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the distressed paint effect. If kept outdoors, moving the planter to a sheltered area during heavy frost or extreme winter conditions will help preserve the longevity of the materials.
