FAQs
Are these planters suitable for indoor use?
Yes, they can be used indoors, provided you use a saucer or protective liner to catch water drainage.
Do I need to drill holes for drainage?
No, these planters come with pre-drilled drainage holes at the bottom.
Can I leave these planters outside all year?
While they are designed for garden use, they are made of natural wood and will last longer if treated with a wood preservative and moved to a sheltered area during harsh winter months.
What are the exact dimensions of the set?
The set includes a large (45 x 35cm), a medium (38 x 28cm), and a small (29 x 25.5cm) bucket.
Is the wood treated to be rot-resistant?
The wood is natural fir. It is best to treat it with a protective sealant to enhance its resistance to rot and moisture.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking on delicate surfaces
Place a plastic saucer or waterproof mat underneath the bucket to capture excess water.
Wood color fading over time
Apply a clear or tinted wood exterior stain or oil to refresh the natural brown finish.
Drainage holes clogging
Clear the holes manually and add a layer of coarse gravel at the bottom of the planter before adding soil to act as a filter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your vidaXL Garden Bucket Planters is straightforward; simply place them in your desired location, fill the bottom with a layer of gravel or expanded clay pebbles to ensure optimal drainage, and add your potting mix. To maintain the wood, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or exterior oil once or twice a year, especially if they are placed in direct outdoor environments. To ensure long-term compatibility with various plants, ensure the soil used is appropriate for the specific water needs of your flowers. If placing on wooden decking, ensure the drainage holes are elevated slightly using 'pot feet' to allow air circulation beneath the bucket.
