Planter Drainage in Stone

Always check for drainage holes. Without them, water gets stuck, and roots may rot.

Planter Sealing to Avoid Leak

Stone is porous. Use sealing inside the planter to stop water leakage and protect the floor.

Moss Growth Stone Planters

Moss can grow on stone in damp areas. Some people love the rustic look, but if you don’t, clean gently with a brush.
