Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be holding too much water.
Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked. If they are, gently clear them with a small stick or wire.
Surface dirt is difficult to remove.
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Planter feels unstable.
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. For added stability, you can partially bury the base in soil if planting directly into the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These planters are ready for immediate use. Simply remove them from their packaging and place them in your desired location. You can then fill them with appropriate potting soil and add your chosen plants.
Compatibility: The YouGarden Papilio Planters are compatible with a wide range of plants, including annual bedding plants, perennials, small shrubs, herbs, and succulents. They are suitable for use on patios, balconies, decking, or directly in garden borders. Ensure the chosen location provides adequate sunlight and drainage for the specific plants you intend to grow.
Care: To maintain the appearance of your planters, wipe them clean periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. During winter, while the material is weather-resistant, consider emptying them to prevent water from freezing and expanding inside, which could potentially cause stress to the material over many years. Store in a dry place if possible during prolonged harsh weather.
