Troubleshooting
Plants seem to be drying out too quickly
Ensure the reservoir insert is correctly placed and has a small amount of water at the base. Check that the soil is making contact with the reservoir if it's designed that way, or ensure the drainage holes (if any) are not blocked.
Water pooling excessively on the surface
The reservoir might be overfilled, or drainage could be an issue. Ensure the planter is not sitting in standing water outdoors, and consider using a slightly different soil mix if water retention is too high for your plant type.
Planter feels unstable
Ensure the legs are securely attached if used. Verify that the planter is placed on a flat, even surface. The fixed height of the legs means the base stability is crucial.
Color fading or material degradation
While UV resistant, extreme prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can eventually affect materials. Consider rotating the planter's position periodically or using a UV protectant spray if significant fading is observed.
