Follow these easy steps: Clean gently — wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt and mineral buildup Ensure drainage — always use a planter with a drainage hole, or add a layer of pebbles at the base Empty saucers — don't let water pool beneath the pot, as standing water can damage roots and the finish Store in cold weather — bring planters indoors before the first frost to prevent cracking
