Always check the individual product specification to choose the right material for your space.
Are Garden Trading planters suitable for outdoor use?
Many Garden Trading planters are suitable for outdoor use, including selected ficonstone, terracotta, ceramic, rattan, galvanised steel and wooden styles. Some indoor pots, such as handwoven jute or seagrass designs, are intended for indoor use only, so it is always best to check the product details before placing a pot outside.
What is ficonstone?
Ficonstone is a sturdy yet lightweight composite material used in selected Garden Trading planters. It is made from a mix of cement, crushed stone, sand and fibreglass, creating a planter that is easier to move than solid stone while still being well suited to outdoor use.
Are ficonstone planters frost-resistant?
Yes. Selected Garden Trading ficonstone planters, including styles such as Cranford, Newnham, Haberton and Ledbury, are listed as frost-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Some also include drainage holes with a removable plug.
Can Garden Trading planters stay outside all year round?
Some Garden Trading planters are designed to stay outside all year round, including selected ficonstone and rattan styles that are listed as frost-resistant or weatherproof. For best results, always follow the care information on the product page, especially during winter.
Do Garden Trading planters have drainage holes?
Some Garden Trading planters come with drainage holes, while others do not. Selected ficonstone and terracotta planters include drainage holes or removable drainage plugs, while some galvanised steel and steel planters are designed without drainage holes.
Why do some planters not have drainage holes?
Some Garden Trading metal planters are made without drainage holes so they can be used more flexibly, including indoors or with an inner plant pot. For these styles, we often recommend using an inner plant pot or liner to help prolong the life of the planter.
Why are drainage holes important for plant pots?
Drainage holes help water escape from the base of a planter, reducing the risk of standing water around the plant’s roots. Drainage holes in terracotta pots are essential for helping keep plant roots healthy and avoiding root rot.
Should I use an inner pot or liner?
Yes, for selected Garden Trading metal and wooden planters, using an inner plant pot or liner is recommended to help prolong the life of the product. This is particularly useful for styles that do not include drainage holes.
Why should outdoor planters be raised off the ground in winter?
Raising outdoor planters off the ground can help protect them during colder, wetter months. We recommend elevating outdoor planters, especially in winter, on selected ceramic and terracotta styles.
What are trough planters good for?
Trough planters are ideal for displaying several flowers, herbs, plants or miniature shrubs in one place. They work well on patios, terraces, cottage gardens, balconies and urban outdoor spaces.
Can I use Garden Trading planters indoors?
Yes. Some Garden Trading pots and planters are designed for indoor use, including ceramic indoor plant pots, hanging plant pots, jute pots and seagrass styles. Some galvanised steel planters without drainage holes can also be used indoors as well as outdoors.
Can I grow herbs in Garden Trading planters?
Yes. Many Garden Trading planters are suitable for herbs, depending on the size, drainage and material. Product pages mention herbs as a suitable use for selected planters, including ficonstone, metal and indoor lined pots.
How do I choose the right planter?
Choose your planter based on where it will sit, what you want to plant, and how much drainage your plants need. Frost-resistant ficonstone and terracotta styles are well suited to outdoor displays, galvanised steel planters offer a classic rustic look, wooden troughs suit flowers and miniature shrubs, and indoor woven pots are ideal for bringing greenery into the home.
