Weathering Process and Care (Operating & Maintenance)
Your planter is made from weathering steel, which is designed to develop a protective rust layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This process is natural and enhances the material's durability and aesthetic.
Natural Weathering
Upon arrival, the planter will have a grey, un-weathered appearance. Over time, typically within a few weeks to a few months depending on environmental conditions (humidity, rain, sun exposure), the steel will naturally develop a distinctive rusty brown patina.

Accelerating the Weathering Process
To speed up the development of the rust patina, you can follow these steps:
- ഉപരിതലം വൃത്തിയാക്കുക: Spray the planter with a mixture of water and dish soap. Wipe it clean to remove any oils or residues.
- Apply Salt Solution: Prepare a solution of water and salt (e.g., 1 tablespoon of salt per liter of water). Spray this solution evenly over the entire surface of the planter.
- Repeat and Observe: Repeat the salt solution application daily for several days. The rust will begin to form within a few days and continue to deepen over approximately 30 days.

ജനറൽ കെയർ
- No painting is required, as the rust layer acts as a protective barrier.
- Periodically rinse the planter with water to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the protective patina.
- The open bottom design ensures proper drainage for plants.
