Using your Moe's Everest Round Planter is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions that come with it. Then, choose your favorite plants and add some soil to the planter. Make sure to place it in a spot where your plants can get the right amount of sunlight. Since it has a water - drainage system, you don't have to worry about over - watering. Just water your plants as you normally would. For maintenance, wipe the concrete part with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. The acacia wood base can be treated with a light wood oil occasionally to keep its natural look. Remember, this planter is non - returnable because it's oversized, so handle it with care.
