FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Urbi Case planter?
The dimensions are Height 50 cm, Width 58 cm, and Depth 18 cm.
Is the self-watering system effective for all plant types?
The self-watering system is designed to reduce the frequency of manual watering and prevent overwatering. It works best with plants that prefer consistently moist soil. For succulents or plants that require dry periods, manual watering adjustments or the use of the insert as a simple soil retainer might be necessary.
Can this planter be left outside year-round?
Yes, it is made from durable, weatherproof plastic resistant to UV rays and cracking, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use. However, in regions with severe frost, emptying it may prevent damage from freezing.
How much soil does this planter require compared to a standard planter?
The internal insert is designed to significantly reduce the amount of soil needed. While an exact volume comparison isn't provided, the insert effectively creates a void or water reservoir at the base.
What colors are available for the Urbi Case planter?
The Urbi Case planter is available in elegant colors including Black, Mocca, and White.
Does the planter come assembled?
Yes, the planter is ready to use upon arrival. The only setup required is inserting the included internal component.
What is the weight of the planter?
The planter weighs 2.7 kg.
Troubleshooting
Planter seems to be overwatering plants.
Ensure the internal insert is correctly positioned and that any drainage or overflow mechanisms within the insert are not blocked. Reduce the amount of water added if the soil remains constantly saturated.
Plants in the planter are wilting.
Check if the self-watering reservoir has water. If not, refill it. Ensure the wicking mechanism of the insert is functioning correctly and making good contact with the soil.
Exterior shows water spots or dust.
Wipe down the planter with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
Planter feels unstable.
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. Check that the internal insert is seated correctly and not causing an imbalance. Avoid overfilling the planter to the point of instability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Urbi Case planter comes ready to use. The key step is correctly inserting the provided internal insert. Ensure the insert is placed securely within the planter, aligning any designated water reservoirs or wicking components as per the product's implied design for self-watering functionality.
