Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be cracking or degrading.
While made of durable plastic, prolonged extreme UV exposure over many years can degrade materials. Consider moving the planter to a location with partial shade if possible, or replace it if significant degradation occurs.
Water pooling at the bottom of the planter.
This indicates a lack of drainage. You will need to carefully drill drainage holes in the bottom of the planter or ensure a significant layer of drainage material (like gravel or perlite) is added before the soil.
Surface scratches or scuffs.
Minor scratches can occur with use. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cloth. Deeper scratches may be cosmetic and not affect the planter's function.
