VIETRI Rustic Garden Ruffle Planter

No, this planter does not feature a drainage hole. If you plan to plant directly inside, we recommend using a layer of gravel at the bottom or keeping your plant in its nursery pot to prevent root rot.

While the planter is suitable for outdoor use, terracotta is porous and can crack if water trapped inside the clay freezes. We recommend bringing it indoors or storing it in a covered, dry area during freezing temperatures.

Because it is crafted from traditional red clay, the planter will develop a natural, organic patina as it is exposed to the elements. This aging process adds character and depth to the finish, which is a hallmark of authentic Italian terracotta.

Yes, but because the planter is made of porous terracotta and lacks a drainage hole, you should use a saucer or protective mat underneath. This will prevent moisture from seeping through the clay or leaking over the rim and damaging your flooring.

The planter should be hand-washed only. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to remove dirt or debris, avoiding harsh scrubbers that could damage the ruffle detail or the clay surface.
