FAQ
What materials are the medium planters made from?
These planters are primarily constructed from high-density resin, known for its durability and weather resistance. This material is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions, including rain and sunshine.
Are these planters suitable for indoor use?
While they can be brought indoors temporarily, resin isn't ideal for prolonged periods in humid environments. It’s best suited for outdoor use, but can be used inside with careful monitoring of humidity levels.
How heavy are the medium planters?
Each planter typically weighs between 1.5kg and 2.5kg depending on the specific model. This makes them manageable to move around your garden without straining yourself.
What size is the internal diameter of a medium planter?
The internal diameter varies slightly across the range but generally falls between 20cm and 28cm. Check the product description for precise measurements before purchasing.
Can I plant directly into the resin or do I need to use a liner?
It’s recommended to use a liner – such as horticultural fleece or plastic sheeting – when planting directly into the resin. This protects the resin from root rot and extends the life of the planter.
Are these planters frost-resistant?
These planters are designed to withstand light frosts, but prolonged exposure to extreme cold could potentially cause cracking. We recommend bringing them indoors during very harsh winters.
What colours are available for the medium planters?
Currently, we offer these planters in a range of neutral tones including grey, terracotta, black and white. Check the individual product listings for exact colour availability.
Do I need to treat the resin before planting?
No special treatment is required. However, cleaning the planter with a damp cloth before use is advised to remove any dust or debris.
How do I clean the medium planters after use?
Simply wipe down the planters with a damp sponge and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the resin surface.
Are these planters suitable for growing succulents?
Yes, absolutely! The porous nature of the resin is well-suited to succulent cultivation, allowing for proper drainage and preventing root rot.
