FAQs
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
No, the Verona Square Planter does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. You will need to drill them yourself or create a drainage layer at the bottom.

The sizes are: Small: 26 x 26 x 28 cm (10.2 x 10.2 x 11 in.), Medium: 33 x 33 x 35 cm (13 x 13 x 13.8 in.), and Large: 40 x 40 x 43 cm (15.8 x 15.8 x 16.9 in.).

Yes, the planter is frost-resistant and designed to withstand freezing temperatures without cracking.
What is the planter made of?
It is manufactured with 50% recycled plastic, 45% stone powder, and 5% fiberglass.
How should I clean the planter?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher dirt, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the stone-white finish prone to chipping?
The textured finish is designed for durability. While not prone to chipping like painted surfaces, it's advisable to avoid sharp impacts.
Will the color fade in direct sunlight?
The planter is UV-resistant to minimize fading, but like most materials exposed to intense sunlight over long periods, some gradual change is possible. Rotating the planter can help.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be collecting too much water
Ensure drainage holes are clear or have been properly drilled. If using a drainage layer, check that it is sufficient and not blocked.
Surface has light scratches or scuffs
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, try a non-abrasive plastic cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Planter feels heavier than expected
While designed to be lightweight for its size, it is still a sturdy composite. Ensure you are using appropriate lifting techniques, especially for larger sizes.
Fading or discoloration after prolonged sun exposure
While UV-resistant, extreme prolonged exposure can eventually impact color. Rotating the planter periodically can help ensure even exposure. Consider moving to a partially shaded spot if significant fading is a concern.
