FAQs
Can I use this planter indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, though you should place it on a waterproof saucer to prevent water leakage onto your floors.
Is the pot frost-resistant?
The material is designed for outdoor use, but it is recommended to keep it in a sheltered spot during hard frosts to prolong its life.
How heavy is the planter when filled with soil?
When filled with 30 litres of moist potting mix, the planter can weigh approximately 15-20kg, so ensure your balcony railing or floor can support that weight.
Does it come with pre-drilled holes?
It is recommended to check the bottom of your specific unit; if no holes are present, you can easily drill small drainage holes using a standard drill bit.
How do I clean it?
Simply use a damp cloth with mild soapy water and rinse with a garden hose.
Troubleshooting
Pot sliding on smooth balcony floors
Apply adhesive silicone furniture pads to the bottom of the pot to increase friction.
Plant growth appears stunted
Ensure the container is not waterlogged and has been provided with a drainage layer, such as expanded clay pellets at the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before planting, ensure the surface beneath the pot is level to prevent uneven weight distribution. If placing the planter directly on a finished surface, consider using a tray or mat to prevent staining. While the pot is weather-resistant, it should be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth periodically to maintain its anthracite finish. During winter, consider moving the planter to a sheltered area to prevent soil freeze-thaw cycles from impacting the structural integrity of the material.
