Guide to take care of Gallery by the workshop's Fiberglass planters?
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) planters have become a popular choice for gardening enthusiasts due to their durability, lightweight, and low maintenance requirements. Gallery By The Workshop is on the manufacturing for last three-five years.
Here's a guide of how to take care of your FRP Planters?
Regular Dusting
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate on the planter's surface. This will prevent dirt from building up and making the planter look dull.
Mild Soap and Water
For more stubborn stains or dirt buildup, mix a mild soap with warm water, and use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected area. Rinse the planter thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
Avoid Using:
- Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the FRP material.
- High-pressure washes, which can cause damage to the planter's surface.
Protecting FRP Planters from the Elements
UV Protection
FRP planters can fade or become brittle when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. To prevent this, consider placing your planters in a shaded area or applying a UV-resistant coating.
Water Protection
While FRP planters are water-resistant, they're not waterproof. Avoid exposing them to standing water or excessive moisture, as this can cause damage to the material.
Maintaining Drainage
Drainage Holes
Ensure your FRP planter has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. If your planter doesn't have drainage holes, consider drilling a few holes in the bottom to facilitate water drainage.
Well-Draining Soil
Use a well-draining potting soil to prevent water from accumulating in the soil. This will help prevent root rot and other problems associated with waterlogged soil.
