Wooden planters add a warm and natural aesthetic to any space, making them a popular choice. Caring for them properly ensures they maintain their beauty and longevity. At Planters.co.uk, wooden planters come pre-painted in the case of our coloured varieties, and all come pressure treated, providing a head start in protection and style. Here are some tips for maintaining them:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down planters with a damp cloth to remove dirt and prevent mould or mildew build-up.

• Reapply Protective Coatings: Over time, reapply varnish or paint to keep the wood sealed against weather damage, especially if used outdoors.

• Ensure Proper Drainage: All Planters.co.uk planters come with built-in drainage. Ensure these remain clear to prevent waterlogging, which can damage both plants and wood.

• Position Strategically: Place planters in areas where they won’t be exposed to prolonged moisture, such as near leaking gutters or sprinkler systems.

• Use Liners: Adding a plastic or metal liner inside the planter can provide an extra layer of protection against moisture.
