Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable when filled.
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. For added stability, consider placing a few larger stones or bricks at the bottom before adding soil.
Water pooling at the bottom (with drainage hole).
Check if the drainage hole is clear and not blocked by soil or roots. Ensure the surface the planter sits on allows water to drain away freely.
Exterior finish becoming dull.
Clean the planter with a damp cloth. For faded areas, a specialized composite furniture restorer can sometimes help restore color.
