Ducale Classic Rectangular Planter

OUTDOOR USE
Drill drainage holes in the base of the planter using a screwdriver or drill to prevent water stagnation.
Place a layer of expanded clay or other draining material at the bottom.
Add a layer of non-woven fabric to allow water passage but block solids.
Add a layer of soil and position the plant on top. Finally, fill the planter with soil up to the rim.

INDOOR USE
Place a pot containing the plant inside the planter and use a suitable saucer underneath.
If you prefer to use the planter without an inner pot, drill drainage holes as described above.
Remember to always use a saucer to avoid water damage to floors.

EXTRA TIP
You can also drill a hole on the side wall about 3-5 cm from the bottom to create a “false saucer” inside.
Fill this space with expanded clay, then non-woven fabric, and finally soil.
This way, unless watering is excessive, excess water will remain inside the planter without leaking out and causing issues.

Is the planter suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the planter can be placed outdoors. If it is not pre-drilled, you must drill drainage holes in the base using a screwdriver, drill, or similar tool to allow excess water to drain during rain. Multiple small holes are preferable to a single large hole.
Place a layer of expanded clay at the bottom to prevent soil from escaping through the holes. For taller planters, we also recommend weighting the base with stones or sand to prevent tipping.

Are there any precautions for indoor use?
We recommend placing a layer of expanded clay at the bottom of the planter. This prevents water stagnation while retaining the moisture needed by the plant roots.

Is the planter designed to withstand low and high temperatures?
Yes, the planter is frost-proof and resistant to all weather conditions, both summer and winter. However, unlike the planter, plants themselves are not particularly frost-resistant.

Will the color remain unchanged over time?
Yes, the planters are UV-resistant and do not fade.

Is the planter impact-resistant?
The resin used to make the planter is very durable and will not be damaged by small drops. However, sharp or pointed objects can cause damage.

How can I clean the planter?
A common non-abrasive degreaser is suitable for cleaning any planter.
