Troubleshooting
Water pooling around the base despite the drainage hole
Ensure the drainage hole is completely clear of obstructions such as soil or small stones. If placing on a solid surface, consider using pot feet or a small stand to lift the pot slightly and allow better airflow and drainage.
Surface stains or discoloration on the pot
Wipe the pot with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Small cracks appearing over time
While fibreclay is durable, extreme temperature cycles can sometimes cause micro-fractures. Inspect the pot for any significant cracks. Minor surface imperfections are usually cosmetic. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
