Lobby, patio and indoors
Planters inside the home? It can be done.
Because they are watertight, our containers are also ideal inside the home, and in the lobbies of premium buildings, hotels and patios.
Our drains, and the plug that comes with them, can be used to close the drain opening completely; from time to time the plug is opened in a controlled way to empty residual water.
In indoor use, where there is no built-in drainage, water by hand.
Questions and answers
And if a leak starts, how is it dealt with indoors?
If there is a leak from the drain or another part of the container, let the container dry out completely, sand the area and use epoxy putty to seal it.
How are planters drained in indoor use?
You can ask us to close the drain hole by welding, for an extra charge, or use our drain, which is sold with a screw plug, so that every few weeks you can put a vessel under the opening, open it and let the excess water run out.
You can also set a small saucer for excess water, or plant not directly in the container but in a bucket that can be lifted out from time to time to drain. The best recommendation is to drain excess water with an internal pipe, or to water exactly according to the plant's needs.
