Using this planter is easy. Just put some soil in it and plant your favorite small or medium - sized plants. When watering, make sure not to over - water as terracotta is porous and may cause waterlogging if too much water is added. To keep it in good condition, clean it gently with a soft cloth every few months. Avoid placing it in extremely cold or hot environments as sudden temperature changes can crack the terracotta. Enjoy using this beautiful vintage planter to enhance your living space!
