FAQs

Can the Aluzinc planter be used indoors?

Yes, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces, providing flexibility in how you arrange plants around your home.

Does the Aluzinc cube planter need a liner?

A liner isn't essential, but it can be used if you want extra control over soil drainage or to prevent compost loss.

How should I clean the Aluzinc planter?

Simply wipe it with a damp cloth or use mild soapy water to remove any dirt or residue without damaging the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can the plug and drainage holes be adjusted?

Yes, you can open or close them depending on whether your plants prefer more or less water retention. The plug allows you to control the drainage.

Is there a warranty on Aluzinc planters?

Yes, warranty details are available in our terms of service, which outline coverage for Aluzinc products. The material itself offers a longer lifespan than traditional galvanized steel.

Do Aluzinc planters change color over time?

The powder-coated finish helps maintain the original colour. While designed for durability, minor patina changes may naturally occur over very long-term use, but the protective qualities remain.

What are the available sizes for the Aluzinc Cube Planters?

The planters are available in three size options: Small (40cm x 40cm x 40cm), Medium (50cm x 50cm x 50cm), and Large (64cm x 64cm x 64cm).

Are there size variations in the handmade planters?

Yes, as these are handmade products, slight variations in dimensions of up to 5% (approximately 2-4cm on width and depth) may occur.

Troubleshooting

Planter has slight imperfections or minor size variations.

This is normal due to the handmade nature of the product. Slight variations of up to 5% in dimensions are expected and do not affect the planter's functionality or durability.

Water is not draining from the planter.

Ensure the drainage plug is fully removed from the drainage holes. Check that the holes themselves are not obstructed by soil or debris.

Surface appears dull or has smudges.

Clean the planter with a damp cloth or mild soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to restore its semi-reflective shine.

Planter feels excessively hot in direct sunlight.

This is a characteristic of metal planters. Ensure adequate watering for your plant and consider placing the planter in a location with partial shade during the hottest parts of the day, or use a plant liner to provide insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Placement: Choose a suitable location for your planter, considering sunlight, wind, and accessibility.
Drainage Adjustment: Determine the drainage needs of your plant. If more drainage is required, ensure the plug is removed from the designated holes. For plants that prefer moist soil, keep the plug in place or partially inserted.
Planting: Add your desired soil or potting mix and plant your chosen shrub, ornamental plant, or small tree.

Compatibility:

Indoor/Outdoor Use: Fully compatible with both indoor and outdoor environments.
Plant Types: Suitable for a wide range of plants, including shrubs, ornamental plants, small trees, herbs, and flowers. Consider the planter size relative to the mature size of your plant.
Liner Use: While not essential, a plant liner can be used for additional soil containment or drainage control if desired.

Care:

Cleaning: To maintain the planter's finish, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt or residue, use mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the powder-coated surface.
Winter Care: While designed for year-round use, for extreme frost conditions, consider moving the planter to a more sheltered location or ensuring the drainage is sufficient to prevent waterlogging and freezing within the soil.
