FRP Planters: Do's, Don'ts, and Potting Techniques for Direct & Indirect Planting
FRP Planters Usage Guide
Overview: FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) planters are designed primarily as decorative outer covers, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your indoor and outdoor spaces. While these planters are versatile and durable, it's important to follow certain guidelines to maintain their quality and longevity.
Recommended Use:
-Outer Cover: FRP planters are best used as outer covers for smaller plastic pots.
This setup helps:
- Prevent root expansion from directly impacting the FRP planter.
- Reduce the weight of soil and water, which can exert pressure on boundary walls and compromise the integrity of the FRP planter over time.
- Direct Planting: FRP planters can also be used for direct planting, but with some precautions
- Soil Selection: Opt for lighter potting mixtures such as coco peat or a mix of light soil to minimize the overall weight.
-Water Management: Ensure proper drainage to avoid water accumulation, which can stress the planter’s structure.
