Care Maintenance/Outdoor Planting Instructions: There is no such thing as a 100% frost proof hose pot. The freeze-thaw cycles that occur in winter will cause any water in the hose pot to freeze and expand which may cause the container to crack. It is best to store the item in a dry place out of the elements.
Our Glazed and Terra Cotta hose pots are equipped with pre-installed drainage holes to allow for drainage. The drain holes must be kept clear to maintain the longevity of your hose pot, especially in climates that undergo freeze thaw cycles in the winter. If you are unable to bring a hose pot out of the elements: We recommend covering the drain holes with a mesh screen or equivalent to keep debris from clogging the openings.
Cleaning Instructions: Campania Glazed hose pots can be cleaned with either mild soapy water or Windex® with Ammonia-D. Spray down the surface of the planter where it is dirty and use a lint-free cloth or sponge to wipe the surface. Note that it may take several cycles of wiping and drying before the hose is completely clean. Do not pressure wash, use alcohol based cleaners, apply corrosive cleaners or clean with anything abrasive.
