General maintenance
Cleaning
Use only mild cleaning agents with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Color preservation
Limit exposure to direct sunlight to slow down discoloration.
Outdoor use
Always drill drainage holes to prevent water damage and frost cracking (some pots come pre-drilled).
Repairs
Use our UV-resistant touch-up pen (Essential collection) for minor scratches.
Maintenance
Black fiberstone planters (Natural collection -01) should be treated 2 to 4 times per year with our special maintenance wax to maintain their deep color.
Note on materials
All products are handmade from natural materials: expect unique variations in color, finish, size, and weight.
Water resistance
Planters are not suitable as vases or water containers (except for vases from our Rough collection). Most have a waterproof coating up to 25 cm from the bottom, but we always recommend using a liner indoors as a precaution. Small cracks from transport may affect water resistance.

With years of experience, we know exactly how to extend the lifespan of fiberstone. To maintain its deep black color, regular treatment with maintenance wax is essential, as it also protects the surface.

How to use:
- Store the wax in a cool, dry place.
- Clean the pot with water and a cloth before applying the product.

- Apply wax with a cotton cloth and polish until the surface looks saturated and even.
- Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Planting tips for optimal growth
1. Fill 1/3 of the planter with clay pebbles. This ensures efficient water management and supports healthy plant growth.
2. Add potting soil to fill the remaining 2/3 of the planter.
3. Place the plant and, if desired, finish with a decorative top layer (e.g. clay pebbles, bark, or other ground cover).
4. Be cautious when moving the filled planter: the combined weight of pebbles, soil, plant, and pot may cause damage during transport.

For indoor planters
- Place a plastic liner inside the planter to make it watertight and prevent white stains.
- Use special pot wheels to easily move the planter, even when it’s filled.
For outdoor planters
- Drill several holes (8–10 mm) in the bottom of the planter; the number depends on the size. Use duct tape to prevent slipping.
- Tip: Cover the holes with mesh or broken potsherds to prevent clogging.
- Elevate the planters slightly with pot feet or a saucer. This improves drainage, protects plants from frost and pests, and prevents surface damage.
- If placing the planter directly on the ground, drill drainage holes into the side of the planter, 5–10 cm above the base.
