Setup

Before planting, determine the intended use of your Deroma Origin planter (indoor or outdoor) to configure the drainage system correctly.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the planter from its packaging.
2. Drainage Plug: Locate the drainage hole and its corresponding plug at the bottom of the planter.
3. Indoor Use: For indoor applications, ensure the drainage plug is securely inserted to prevent water leakage.
4. Outdoor Use: For outdoor applications, remove the drainage plug to allow excess water to drain freely, preventing root rot.
5. Positioning (Larger Sizes): If your planter includes wheels, ensure they are properly attached and functional for easy movement.

Operating Instructions

Planting

1. Soil Preparation: Fill the planter with appropriate potting mix suitable for your chosen plants. Leave adequate space from the rim.
2. Plant Placement: Carefully place your plant into the soil, ensuring its roots are well covered.
3. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. For indoor use, monitor soil moisture to avoid overwatering. For outdoor use, ensure the drainage plug is removed to prevent water accumulation.

Mobility (for 23" and larger sizes)

The 23" Deroma Origin planter is equipped with integrated wheels for easy movement. To relocate the planter, gently push or pull it to the desired position. Avoid lifting heavy planters to prevent injury or damage.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your planter, wipe it with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.

Durability

The Deroma Origin planter is designed to be UV and frost resistant. This allows it to withstand various environmental conditions without significant degradation. Its high-density recycled plastic construction provides resistance against scratches and breakage.

Troubleshooting

Water Accumulation

• Issue: Water is not draining from the planter, leading to waterlogged soil.
• Solution: Ensure the drainage plug is removed for outdoor use. If using indoors, check that the plug is not obstructed. If drainage remains an issue, consider adding a layer of coarse material (e.g., gravel) at the bottom before adding soil, or carefully drilling additional small drainage holes if necessary, though this may void any implied warranty.
