FAQs

Is the drainage plug essential for outdoor use?

No, the drainage plug is optional for outdoor use. Removing the plug allows for natural drainage, which is often preferred for most outdoor plants to prevent waterlogging. The plug is primarily for indoor use to control water flow.

How resistant is the Aluzinc finish to rust?

The Aluzinc material with a powder-coated finish offers significantly improved corrosion resistance, up to six times more than standard galvanized steel, making it highly resistant to rust and weathering.

Can I use this planter indoors without any problems?

Yes, the planter is suitable for indoor use. Ensure the drainage plug is securely inserted to prevent water from leaking onto your floors. Monitor the soil moisture as you would with any indoor plant.

What is the expected lifespan of this planter?

The Aluzinc material and durable powder-coated finish are designed for a longer lifespan compared to traditional planters. It comes with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

How should I clean the planter?

Clean the planter by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.

Does the planter come with drainage holes?

Yes, the planter features drainage holes and includes a removable plug, allowing you to customize the water flow for different planting environments.

Are there other sizes and colors available?

Yes, this cube planter is available in three sizes (40cm, 50cm, and 64cm) and in three colors: black, bronze, and silver.

Troubleshooting

Planter has minor size variations.

This is a normal characteristic of the handmade manufacturing process. The variation is typically within 5% and does not affect the planter's functionality or overall shape.

Water is not draining adequately outdoors.

Ensure the drainage plug is completely removed from the drainage hole. Check if the hole itself is obstructed by soil or debris and clear if necessary.

The planter feels too hot to touch in direct sun.

This is a characteristic of metal planters. Consider placing the planter in a location with partial shade during the hottest parts of the day, or using larger companion plants to provide some shade to the planter's surface.
