FAQs
Does this planter have a drainage hole?
This model typically does not come with a pre-drilled drainage hole. We recommend adding a layer of drainage material like gravel at the bottom.
Can I use this planter outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, but we recommend bringing it inside during freezing weather to protect the structural integrity of the cement.
How do I prevent the surface from scratching my furniture?
Apply small felt adhesive pads to the underside of the base to create a buffer between the cement and your furniture.
Is the finish prone to chipping?
The finish is a wash designed for a rustic look. While durable, avoid striking the surface with hard objects to keep the finish intact.
What type of plants grow best in this shape?
The oval shape is perfect for plants that spread or trailing varieties, as it provides a longer space for roots to grow horizontally.
Troubleshooting
Moisture seeping through the base
Apply a clear, non-toxic masonry sealer to the interior of the pot or use a waterproof plastic liner.
White powdery residue (efflorescence) on the surface
Gently wipe the surface with a dry cloth or a soft brush; this is a natural byproduct of cement and is not a defect.
Pot feels too heavy when planted
Use lightweight potting mix or place an inverted plastic pot at the bottom to reduce the total volume of soil required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your planter remains in peak condition, place it on a level, stable surface. If you intend to use it for live plants, consider adding a layer of expanded clay pebbles or horticultural grit at the bottom to facilitate better airflow and root health. To clean the exterior, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the green and copper wash. If kept outdoors, bring the planter inside during freezing winter temperatures to prevent the cement from cracking due to expansion.
