Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the planters from their packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Drainage Preparation: Each planter includes a drainage plug. For outdoor use or plants requiring significant drainage, ensure the plug is removed from the bottom of the planter. For indoor use or to utilize the water reservoir feature, ensure the plug is securely inserted. The internal drainage points will help manage moisture.

- Planting: Place your desired plants into the soil. Ensure adequate space for root growth.

Operating
The Step2 Tremont Planter is designed for ease of use and plant health.
- Watering: Water plants as needed, considering the plant type and environmental conditions. The integrated water reservoir helps retain moisture, reducing the frequency of watering. If the drainage plug is inserted, excess water will collect in the reservoir at the bottom. If the plug is removed, water will drain freely.
- Placement: These planters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Their durable construction withstands various weather conditions.

Maintenance
The Step2 Tremont Planter requires minimal maintenance due to its durable resin construction.
- Cleaning: Clean the planter periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Durability: The molded-in colors and double-walled resin construction prevent chipping, fading, rusting, or tarnishing, ensuring long-term aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Water accumulation or poor drainage.
Solution: Ensure the drainage plug is removed if continuous drainage is desired. Check that the internal drainage points are not obstructed by soil or debris. - Issue: Planter instability.
Solution: For added stability, especially in windy conditions, the water reservoir can be filled with water (if the plug is inserted) or the planter can be partially filled with heavy material like gravel before adding soil.
