Tips and Installation
For best results in potting and sustaining healthy plants:
In an Outdoor environment:
- Invert container and remove rubber stopper. For safekeeping, slip rubber stopper into top of container so you can locate it, and use the container come fall for bringing your outside plants in, extending the life of the plants.
- Add enough medium density potting soil to cover the bottom and up to 1/3 of the container.
- Add plants allowing enough space for them to grow, leaving a considerable amount of room between each plant.
- Add soil to remaining empty pockets and fill the container, not quite to the rim, leaving about 1" free space from the top.
- Water accordingly and often, especially in mid to late summer high-temperature months.
- As always, for the protection and longevity of your containers, Novelty recommends moving your plants/containers indoors. Empty container of soil and residual water and reinsert rubber stopper for use indoors, enjoying your seasonal plants well into the fall.
In an Indoor environment:
Novelty prides itself on providing containers that are designed ‘horticulturally correct’.
You will find a unique water-minder feature at the bottom of the ArtStone planter. Do not remove this feature, as it is important for water to accumulate in the reservoirs to recirculate and feed your indoor plants. There is no need to add stones or clay pieces to the bottom.
- Follow planting tips above. It is important to keep the rubber stopper in the bottom of the planter. Do not remove.
