FAQs
Does this pot have drainage holes?
No, the Jobu Concrete Plant Pot does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes.
Is it safe to leave this pot outdoors during winter?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use, but it is best to ensure it is kept dry during freezing temperatures to prevent cracking.
Can I plant directly into the concrete pot?
While you can, we recommend using a nursery liner to manage drainage more effectively and keep the interior clean.

Being made of solid concrete, it is significantly heavier than plastic or ceramic pots, providing a sturdy base.

Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom
Use a plastic nursery pot inside the planter to allow for drainage and remove excess water during maintenance.
Surface marks or scuffs
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth or a very mild soapy solution; avoid harsh scrubbing.
Plant looks wilted despite watering
Check for moisture buildup at the bottom of the pot, which can cause root rot; elevate the inner liner with decorative pebbles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Jobu planter, ensure you place it on a level surface as concrete can scratch delicate furniture if moved abruptly. For indoor use, it is recommended to place felt pads or a coaster underneath the pot to protect surfaces. To maintain the Truffle finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic chemicals that could degrade the concrete sealant. During winter, if the pot is kept outdoors in freezing climates, ensure it is drained completely to prevent ice expansion from cracking the material.
