Planters are a great way to bring life and color to your garden or patio. There are a myriad of plants to choose from when it comes to planting in your planters. It's important to consider which plants will thrive in the environmental conditions your patio or garden offers to ensure you get the best out of your planter box.

Flowers are one of the most popular plants for planters. You can plant a variety of flowers such as petunias, geraniums, lobelias and verbenas to add color and life to your outdoor spaces. These flowers typically thrive in sunny areas and require regular watering.

Herbs such as basil, thyme and rosemary are also a great choice for planters. Not only can these plants serve as decoration, but they are also extremely useful in the kitchen as they can be used in a variety of dishes. Herbs typically thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage.

Bulbous plants are a wonderful way to add color and life to your garden or patio. From flowering tulips to fragrant lavender, bulbs are easy to plant and care for and will provide visual pleasure for years. Bulbous plants thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage. If you plan to plant in planter boxes, make sure the box has holes in the bottom for water drainage.

Plant the bulbs: Place the bulbs in the soil with the tips pointing upwards and with a distance between each bulb of around 5 cm. Cover the bulbs with soil and gently press the soil to ensure the bulbs are well placed.

Plants such as lavender and thyme are also a good choice for planters. These plants are low maintenance and don't require much watering, making them a great choice for those who want to maintain their garden or patio but don't have much time to water regularly.

Herbs, such as oregano, parsley and dill, are also a great option for planter boxes. These plants are extremely useful in the kitchen and can be used in a variety of dishes. Herbs typically thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage.

When it comes to planting in your planters, it's important to consider when it's best to do so. For most plants, it's best to plant in the spring when the soil has been warmed by the sun. This will give plants the best opportunity to establish themselves and grow strong and healthy.

All in all, planters are a great way to bring life and color to your garden or patio. Whether you want to plant flowers, herbs, bulbs or herbs, there are countless possibilities to create a beautiful and lush garden or patio.

We recommend washing with lukewarm soapy water after installation to remove the oil film. Within a few weeks, depending on rainfall, the rusting process will begin. If you are impatient, the process can be accelerated by a wash followed by a salt water spray.

Corten steel is a unique material, it is a corrosion-resistant steel that develops a rustic surface when exposed to the elements. This surface protects the steel from further rusting, making it an ideal material for outdoor use.

Corten steel also has the unique property of changing color over time, giving a rustic and natural look to your garden environment. This can provide a beautiful contrast to the surroundings and create a unique look in your garden.

Corten steel lasts up to 8 times longer than regular steel. The climate in which corten steel is used plays a significant role in its durability. In optimal conditions, corten steel in gardens will last over 50 years, while salty air will negatively affect its lifespan.

Does corten steel rust on the surface?

Corten steel has minimal corrosion resistance compared to regular steel. However, it will always stain the surface slightly at the beginning of the rusting process.

Therefore, when placed on tiles or wood, we recommend a base plate. There are drainage holes in the base plate and the box will be raised approx. 5 mm from the surface to allow water to drain away. On concrete tiles, rust can easily be removed with oxalic acid.

Will the steel damage the plants?

You can grow and plant all kinds of vegetables and plants in this planter. Steel is a natural material and will not release toxic substances to your vegetables. If you are still in doubt, we recommend lining the box with a plastic sheet, polystyrene, insulation mat or similar. This will also insulate the soil from the sides of the box and extend its lifespan.

Corten steel is generally not harmful to plants as it is a corrosion-resistant material that does not release harmful chemicals or metals. However, it may be important to check the PH of the soil and add soil conditioners if necessary, as corten steel can tend to lower the PH of the soil.

It's also important to ensure good drainage in planters and raised beds, as corten steel can rust if it is persistently wet.

It's also recommended to prune the plants regularly and ensure good ventilation in the planter boxes and raised beds so that the plants don't suffocate from excess humidity.
