Hands carefully cleaning a premium FRP planter - Care and maintenance guide

UV Protection

Our FRP planters are UV-stabilized. However, placing them in direct harsh sunlight for very long periods can affect the finish over many years.

Watering

Always ensure proper drainage. FRP is waterproof, so excess water should drain out easily to prevent root rot in plants.

Cleaning

Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers to protect the premium finish.

General Care Instructions

Daily / Weekly Care

  • Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth.
  • Wipe with mild soap water once every 15–20 days.
  • Ensure drainage holes are not blocked.
  • Rotate the planter occasionally for even sun exposure.

Monthly Maintenance

  • Deep clean using a soft sponge + mild detergent.
  • Check for any scratches or damage on the gelcoat layer.
  • Inspect drainage and clean if clogged.
  • Apply a light coat of carnauba wax (optional) for extra shine.

Seasonal Care Tips

Summer Care

  • • Avoid placing dark-colored planters in direct harsh sunlight for long hours.
  • • Water plants more frequently as soil dries faster.
  • • Clean more often to remove dust and pollen.

Monsoon Care

  • • Ensure excellent drainage to avoid waterlogging.
  • • Clean planters more frequently to prevent algae/moss.
  • • Slightly elevate planters if water accumulates around the base.

Winter Care

  • • Move delicate plants indoors if temperature drops very low.
  • • Clean planters before winter to remove summer dust buildup.
