FAQs
What material is the basket made from?
The basket is woven from 100% natural rattan.
Does the basket have a liner?
Yes, it features a watertight plastic inner liner to prevent leaks.
Is this basket suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather is not recommended for maintaining its appearance.
How should I clean the planter basket?
Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the extra small basket?
The 'extra small' designation indicates its compact size, best suited for small plants or decorative items. Specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical specifications if available.
Can I plant directly into the basket?
Yes, you can plant directly into the basket due to the watertight inner liner. However, ensure adequate drainage if your plant requires it, as the liner itself does not have drainage holes.
Are the handles strong enough to carry a heavy plant?
The handles are designed for ease of carrying. For very heavy plants, it is recommended to support the base of the basket when moving it to prevent strain on the handles or the weave.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears misshapen upon arrival
Gently reshape the natural rattan. The material is flexible and can be adjusted by hand. Allow it to sit for a short period to hold its new form.
Water leaking from the bottom
Ensure the inner plastic liner is fully intact and properly seated within the basket. Check for any small tears or punctures in the liner. If damage is found, a separate plastic liner or waterproof sealant may be needed.
Rattan becoming dry or brittle
Lightly mist the rattan with water or apply a small amount of natural oil (like linseed oil) with a soft cloth to help maintain flexibility. Avoid over-saturation.
Color fading or discoloration
This is natural for rattan exposed to sunlight. To prolong the original color, keep the basket out of direct, prolonged sunlight or consider a protective spray designed for natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This planter requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply place your plant in its pot inside the basket, or fill with appropriate potting mix and plant directly.
Compatibility: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Compatible with most standard small plant pots and liners. Ensure the location provides adequate drainage if planting directly into the basket, although the liner mitigates this.
Care: To maintain the natural beauty of the rattan, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions such as heavy rain or direct, intense sunlight, which can degrade natural fibers over time. If used outdoors, consider bringing it indoors during extreme weather. For the inner liner, wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
