The Buhbo Stainless Steel Planter helps you bring home a clean and sleek designer look. Perfect on the window sill, counter top, fireplace mantle, and as a table’s centerpiece. The heavy duty stainless steel is hand welded to ensure a water tight enclosure. Because there are no drainage holes, the best way to plant succulents/small plants is to use a layer of gravel, rock or pebbles on the bottom of the planter. Using an optional layer of charcoal over the gravel will improve the drainage and absorb impurities and odors. The top layer should be loose soil or cactus mix that drains well. * EASY TO CLEAN: Like most stainless steel, finger prints and water spots may show. Simply use a damp towel, or a little window cleaner will take care of it. The plants depicted in the picture are not included with the purchase.
