Troubleshooting
Planter shows signs of cracking or damage after winter.
Ensure the planter was emptied of soil and protected from freezing temperatures. Minor cracks might be repairable with appropriate outdoor sealant, but significant damage may require replacement.
Water does not drain effectively.
Verify that drainage holes are present and not blocked. Add additional drainage holes if necessary, or ensure the base layer includes gravel for improved water flow.
