Cotton & Crete Carousel Giraffe Planter

Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use. However, because it is made of magnesia with a distressed finish, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it during harsh winter conditions to prevent potential cracking or finish degradation.

This piece is primarily designed as a decorative container. It does not come with a pre-drilled drainage hole, so we recommend using a nursery pot inside or adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to manage moisture if you are planting directly.

The planter is crafted from magnesia, which provides a solid, stone-like weight that is sturdy enough for a freestanding display. Its wide base ensures stability, though it is best placed on a level surface.

Its whimsical shape is perfect for trailing plants like pothos or string of pearls, which can mimic the giraffe's movement. It also accommodates succulents or small herbs quite well given the container's depth.

Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as these can strip the distressed finish and damage the magnesia material.
