Can I plant trees in this planter?
This 40cm planter is best suited for smaller ornamental trees, dwarf varieties, or shrubs. It may not provide enough space for the long-term growth of larger tree species.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be degrading faster than expected.
Ensure the planter has adequate drainage to prevent constant moisture saturation, which can accelerate material breakdown. Protect from prolonged extreme weather if possible.
Water does not drain effectively.
Verify that the drainage holes at the bottom are not obstructed. Clear any soil or debris. Consider elevating the planter slightly with pot feet.
Appearance of mold or mildew.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Ensure good air circulation around the planter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The planter is ready for immediate use. Ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface in your desired outdoor location before filling with soil and plants. For improved drainage, consider placing a layer of gravel or pot feet at the bottom.
Compatibility: This planter is compatible with most standard potting soils and plant types suitable for container gardening. It is designed for outdoor use and can be paired with other rustic or classic garden decor.
