Question for the community: I received two beautiful outdoor planters as a gift. Both are lined with plastic sheeting on the inside. Now I’m not sure: If I want to plant my lemon tree and my olive tree in them, should I cut holes in the film so the water can drain and just plant them directly? Or should I leave the trees in their original pots and simply place those inside the planters? How do you guys do it? I’d love to hear about your experiences and tips. 😊

Das sind Übertöpfe für den Innenraum. Da stellt man normalerweise einen Topf rein der Ablauflöcher hat und die Folie verhindert, dass es dir die Fensterbank runterläuft. Bei deinen genannten Pflanzen müsstest du sie entweder im Innenraum belassen oder zwangsläufig Löcher in die Folie machen. Bedenke das dann natürlich irgendwann das natürliche Material durch die Feuchtigkeit schimmelt (aber da kann man in 5-6 Jahren drüber sprechen)
