OUTDOOR PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

Our cast stone planters are equipped with pre-installeddrainage holes to allow for drainage. The drain holes must be kept clear to maintain thelongevity of your planter, especially in climates that undergo freeze thaw cycles in thewinter. We recommend, whenever possible, raising the planter off of the ground to preventthe planter from freezing to the surface below; Covering the drain holes with a mesh screenor equivalent to keep debris from clogging the openings; Filling the bottom of the planterwith non-porous drainage material; Filling the remainder of the planter with a well-drainingsoil mix that will not retain water; and lastly, covering the soil with decorative mulch orpine bark to the top rim of the planter to discourage water from pooling on the surface. Wedo not recommend leaving planters in saucers in winter. The water that will pool inside thesaucer may cause damage to the base of the planter as well as the saucer itself.

Campania’s cast stone planters can be cleaned with diluted vinegarand water or with any commercially available mild detergent. Use a soft cloth, sponge, orbrush. Do not pressure wash, apply corrosive cleaners or clean with anything abrasive. Notethat 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 powderycoating on the surface of the cast stone if the efflorescence is present in your product.
