Using your new gold hammered planter is easy. First, decide if you're using real or artificial plants. If it's real plants, you can follow the printed instructions on the pot to drill holes for water drainage. Or, if you prefer, you can drill holes in your own spots. Just make sure the holes are big enough for water to flow through. When placing the planter, think about where it'll look best - it could be a centerpiece at a wedding, or a nice addition to your home decor. As for maintenance, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth every now and then to keep it looking shiny. Remember, this product only includes the planter, so don't expect any other decorations to come with it.
