Troubleshooting

Planter appears unstable in windy conditions.

Add a layer of gravel or stones to the bottom of the planter before adding soil to increase weight and stability. Alternatively, place it in a more sheltered location.

Water is not draining from the planter.

Ensure the drainage hole at the bottom is not blocked by soil or debris. If using indoors, check that the rubber plug has been removed for drainage.

Surface dirt is difficult to remove.

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
