How to use

Place the planter on a level, stable surface suitable for the weight of a planted container. Add a layer of drainage material if desired, then fill with potting mix appropriate for the plant species. Use liners or pots inside the planter if you prefer to protect the interior from moisture; ensure adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. Position the planter in a covered spot when used outdoors to reduce exposure to rain and direct sun, and water and fertilize plants according to their specific needs.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the medium size fits the intended location and plant root volume
• Decide whether to use an inner pot or liner for easier plant changes and moisture protection
• Ensure placement is covered or sheltered if exposed to harsh weather
• Check weight capacity of the surface where the planter will sit once filled

Usage recommendations

For best results, use well-draining potting mix and place the planter where it receives appropriate light for the chosen plants. Regularly check moisture levels and move indoors or under cover during prolonged wet or very sunny conditions to preserve the finish and material integrity.
