FAQ

We recommend filling all four legs of the grow table with clay beads. As soon as the legs are filled with clay beads, you can fill the entire grow table with potting soil and start planting! This will prevent the legs from becoming clogged with potting soil, and the floor from getting too dirty and will ensure excess water can easily drain through the clay beads.

The green basics and pure collection can withstand winter temperatures of up to -20 degrees. But water expands when it freezes and this could potentially break your pot. If your outdoor pot does not have any holes yet, make sure you have drilled holes in the bottom so that excess water can drain away.

All flower bridges sizes 30cm & 60cm from elho are suitable for balcony railings of up to 6cm max. The handy fixators that we supply allow you to securely attach the flower bridge onto the railing. It is that easy!

Are you looking for a matching saucer for your pot? You can see which saucers match our products in the combinations recommended on the right-hand side of the product information page.

Yes, you can safely put your elho pot in the dishwasher! We recommend using a 40-degree maximum program. This ensures that your Elho pot remains beautiful and retains its quality for a long time. Always nice to give your pot a good clean!

The entire loft collection has a built-in water reservoir. This reservoir ensures that your plant never gets too much water, keeping your plant healthy! The water reservoir collects the excess water. When it rains, your plant will not stand with its roots in the water, but some of the water will be stored in the water reservoir. The extra water flows away through the overflow pipe. You do not have to drill holes in the loft products yourself, we have already done this for you.
In short: the plant roots are never in the water but can extract water from the reservoir if necessary. We love healthy plants!

How cool that you want to paint your pots! Our pots are mainly produced from recycled polyethylene and this material is difficult to paint. We would therefore advise against it, because the result may turn out differently than you expected. But if we can't stop your creativity, our advice would be to slightly roughen the surface and use a plastic primer beforehand.

All our pots are made from (recycled) plastic. For this we use the following materials: 

• Our outdoor pots are made from recycled polyethene.
• Our inner pots, sprayers and watering cans are made of polypropylene.
• Our clear uni dishes are made of polycarbonate.

The pure raindrop is a rain barrel with a unique design. This stylish pure raindrop is a smart water-saving solution with a capacity of 70 liters that is easy to mount on the downpipe.

Before attaching the pure raindrop, please check the following things:

√ the diameter of the downpipe: this should be a minimum of 50 mm to a maximum of 80 mm;
√ make sure there is enough room on both sides of the pure raindrop (diameter 45cm);
√ does the downpipe sit away from the wall with a minimum of 15 mm and a maximum of 35 mm.

Pay attention!
If it freezes during winter months, the raindrop must be emptied. Open the tap and collect the rainwater. The tap must then remain open during the entire frost period. Tip: place a bucket under the tap to collect the extra rainwater.

Our outdoor pots already have holes, with the exception of our pure collection because these are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. If these pots are placed outside, you can drill holes yourself in the indicated places. You can recognize these places by the drill icon shown in the pot.

Our inside pots do not have pre-drilled holes. You can place your plant with the inner pot directly into all our indoor pots. This way you can see when the roots have grown too much and are ready to be repotted to a larger pot. Another option is to place your plant directly in the elho pot (without the inner pot). We recommend that you first place a layer of clay pebbles on the bottom so that the roots of the plants aren’t drowning in water too quickly. The challenge here is to give just enough – often rather too little than too much – water. It is best to get advice from the garden center / the horticulturist / flower and garden specialist.

Due to the production process, pores are one of the characteristics of this product. Pores are small pins on the surface of the pure and are more sensitive to dirt in the environment. How can you prevent this? The following instructions will help you to enjoy your white pure.

We advise you to never fill your white pure to the border with potting soil and cover the border while filling your pure. The end result will be a perfect white pure product!

What if your pure pot does have some black specks? By using the special cleaning sets for the pure collection, your pure will be clean in a second.
