To use this planter, simply place a small plant inside the 7 x 5 cm opening. It's great for adding a touch of greenery to your indoor space. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the terracotta from cracking. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Be careful when handling it as it is made of terracotta and can break if dropped.
