FAQs
What are the overall dimensions of the planter?
The overall dimensions are Height: 15cm, Width: 60cm, and Depth: 15cm.
What are the internal planting dimensions?
The internal planting dimensions are Height: 9cm, Width: 58cm, and Depth: 9.5cm.
Is the self-watering system suitable for all types of plants?
The self-watering system is ideal for plants that prefer consistently moist soil. For succulents or cacti that require dry periods, manual watering and monitoring are recommended, or consider using a very porous soil mix.
Can this planter be left outside year-round?
Yes, the Sonata planter is manufactured for all seasons and is designed to resist extreme weather conditions, so it can be left outside year-round.
What material is the planter made from?
The planter is made from recycled materials and features a slate finish.
How do I refill the self-watering reservoir?
Refill the reservoir through the designated fill point, typically located on the side or top of the planter, until the water level is sufficient or the soil appears moist.
Does the planter come with any drainage holes?
The product description does not explicitly mention external drainage holes, but the self-watering system implies internal water management. It's advisable to ensure adequate soil aeration and avoid over-saturation.
Troubleshooting
Plants seem dry despite the self-watering system
Check the water reservoir to ensure it is filled. Verify that the wicking material or system is properly seated and making contact with both the soil and the water. Ensure the fill hole is not blocked.
Water is not draining from the planter
While the self-watering system manages water supply, standing water can be detrimental. If excessive water accumulates, consider if the drainage holes (if any) are blocked or if the soil mix is too dense. Ensure the planter is placed on a surface that allows for some air circulation.
Planter shows signs of wear or discoloration
Although designed for durability, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or certain chemicals might affect the surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply fill the planter with appropriate potting soil, considering the internal dimensions. Ensure the self-watering reservoir is filled according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically by adding water to the designated fill point until the indicator shows full or the soil appears moist).
Compatibility: This planter is compatible with most standard potting mixes and a wide range of plants, including annuals, perennials, herbs, and small vegetables. It is suitable for use on tables, windowsills, balconies, and patios.
Care: Clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust or any water marks. Periodically check the self-watering system to ensure it is functioning correctly and not clogged. During very long dry spells, supplemental watering may be necessary. In freezing temperatures, ensure the planter is not completely waterlogged to minimize any potential stress on the material, although it is designed for all-season use.
