Troubleshooting
Planters seem unstable when stacked
Ensure each planter is seated correctly on the one below it. Make sure the stacking surface is level. For added stability outdoors, consider securing the stack with appropriate ties or supports.
Water pooling in compartments
If using outdoors, drill drainage holes in the base of each compartment. If using indoors, be cautious not to overwater, as there are no drainage holes.
Plants not thriving
Ensure adequate sunlight exposure for the chosen plants. Use a suitable potting mix and check soil moisture regularly. Consider the plant's root system size relative to the compartment depth.
