Everyday Care

• Belola planters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use unless otherwise noted.
• Place the planter on a stable, level surface and handle it carefully to avoid impact, cracking, or other damage.
• Lift rather than drag the planter whenever possible to help protect both the planter and the surface beneath it.
• Periodically check the drainage opening and base for debris, trapped water, or retained moisture.

Drainage & Water

• Belola planters include a drainage hole with a removable rubber plug.
• The removable plug helps manage drainage but may not provide a completely watertight seal.
• Keep the drainage opening clear whenever excess water may collect. Remove the rubber plug as needed to allow water to drain freely.
• Do not allow standing or trapped water to remain inside or underneath the planter for extended periods.
• After heavy watering or rainfall, make sure excess water can drain freely.
• When used indoors, use an appropriate saucer or protective surface as needed to help protect floors, furniture, and other sensitive surfaces from moisture and drainage.

Outdoor & Winter Care

Belola planters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. To help preserve their appearance and condition over time, we recommend protecting them during extreme weather conditions.

• In areas where freezing conditions occur, we recommend moving the planter to a dry, sheltered area before temperatures fall below freezing, including overnight.
• Do not allow standing water, trapped moisture, or saturated soil to freeze inside the planter. Freeze-thaw conditions may cause cracking or other damage.
• During severe weather, including heavy rain, snow, or hail, move the planter to a protected location when practical.
• Prolonged outdoor exposure may naturally result in fading, discoloration, weathering, patina, or other cosmetic changes over time.

Cleaning by Finish

Glazed Finishes
 Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Matte or Textured Finishes
 Gently remove dust and loose debris with a clean, soft-bristle brush or a soft, lint-free cloth. If damp cleaning is appropriate for the specific product, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry the surface immediately. Avoid scrubbing, excessive rubbing, or applying pressure that may alter the finish or texture.For all planter finishes:

•  Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach, and harsh chemicals. 
•  Do not use pressure washers or other aggressive cleaning methods. 
•  Do not intentionally soak or submerge the planter during cleaning.
•  Allow the planter to dry thoroughly after cleaning. 

Natural Characteristics & Weathering

Subtle variations in color, glaze, texture, finish, pattern, shape, and surface characteristics may occur as part of the manufacturing process. These natural variations are not considered manufacturing defects.With normal use, especially outdoors, planters may also develop gradual fading, discoloration, weathering, patina, or other cosmetic changes over time. These changes may vary depending on placement, climate, sunlight, moisture, and other environmental conditions and are generally considered normal cosmetic changes over time rather than manufacturing defects.
