Use, Care & Maintenance: Our cast stone planters are equipped with pre-installed drainage holes to allow for drainage. The drain holes must be kept clear to maintain the longevity of your planter, especially in climates that undergo freeze thaw cycles in the winter. Whenever possible, we recommend raising the planter off of the ground to prevent the planter from freezing to the surface below; Covering the drain holes with a mesh screen or equivalent to keep debris from clogging the openings; Filling the bottom of the planter with non-porous drainage material; Filling the remainder of the planter with a well-draining soil mix that will not retain water; and lastly, covering the soil with decorative mulch or pine bark to the top rim of the planter to discourage water from pooling on the surface.
Cleaning Instructions: Can be cleaned with diluted vinegar and water or with any commercially available mild detergent. Use a soft cloth, sponge, or brush. Do not pressure wash, apply corrosive cleaners or clean with anything abrasive. Note that it may take several cycles of wiping and drying before the planter is completely clean. Cast stone contains salts that may effloresce over time. You will notice a fine white powdery coating on the surface of the cast stone if the efflorescence is present in your product. If you wish to remove the salt deposits, contact us for recommendations on an appropriate efflorescence cleaner.
