Vitality 13.5 in. W x 26.5 in. H Square Slate Rubber Self-Watering Planter

A:  Hello. Yes, you can add pebbles or crushed stones to add weight on your Tierra Verde planter. Thank you.

A:  Hello, Tierra Verde Vitality measures Top is 13.5” W Bottom is just a tad over 12”. Thank you.

A:  It is 13 1/2 “ on top and 12 “ at the bottom . Only a slight taper .

A:  Hello. For the longevity of the product we suggest to empty the entire planters and keep inside your garage or storage area.

A:  Not quite sure if it is freezing cold weather resistant .  I know these planters are partly made of rubber yet I would still bring it in if I lived in MN .  Hope this helps !

A:  Even though the planter is made partially of rubber, I still would not leave it out in below 0 temperatures .

A:  Hello, the water reservoir keeps extra water (over and above what the soil can hold) and excess water drains when reservoir is full.

A:  Yes, the water will ultimately be absorbed through the root system and be used. I water mine sparingly so excess water does not collect at the bottom. There’s a lot of room for soil in this pot, so you would really need to add a lot of water for it to be collecting. My plant hates wet feet so it’s perfect for me.
