Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be chipping or fading.
This may occur with prolonged extreme weather exposure. For indoor use or mild climates, this is less likely. Clean gently with a damp cloth and consider applying a clear sealant designed for outdoor decor if it's a persistent issue and the planter is kept outdoors.
Water pooling inside the planter.
Ensure the plant's soil is not overly saturated. If the planter does not have drainage holes, use a layer of gravel at the bottom or opt for plants that tolerate drier conditions. Repotting with appropriate soil mix can also help with drainage.
Minor imperfections in the hand-painted finish.
These are characteristic of a hand-painted item and add to its unique charm. If a specific imperfection is undesirable, consult care instructions for gentle cleaning or cosmetic touch-up options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply place your desired plant or succulent directly into the planter. Ensure any drainage holes (if present or created) are considered for plant health. If using indoors without drainage, consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to prevent waterlogging.
Compatibility: This planter is ideal for small to medium-sized plants, including succulents, cacti, herbs, and small flowering plants. It is not designed for large shrubs or trees.
Care: To maintain the hand-painted finish, it is recommended to wipe the planter clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. While MGO is durable, prolonged exposure to extreme elements may eventually affect the painted surface; consider bringing the planter indoors during harsh winter months for longevity.
