What Makes Terrazzo Hold Up Outdoors?
Terrazzo is marble or stone chips bound in cement, creating a dense composite that doesn't absorb water the way porous concrete does. That density keeps the finish from chalking or disintegrating under rain and direct sun, and the natural stone chips won't bleach like resin or plastic. Each planter in this set is handcrafted in Thailand using traditional terrazzo methods, so you'll see natural color variation piece to piece -- that's the material, not a defect. The finish is UV stable and weather resistant, meaning you can leave them on a patio through summer storms without worrying about fade or cracking, as long as temperatures stay above freezing.Do These Need to Come Indoors for Winter?
Yes, Emissary recommends storing these planters indoors during freezing weather to prevent potential cracking. Terrazzo is weather resistant but not freeze-thaw proof -- moisture trapped in the material can expand when it freezes and cause hairline cracks over repeated cycles. If you live where winter lows stay above 32°F, you can leave them out year-round. Otherwise, bring them into a garage or shed once overnight freezes start, and they'll come back out intact in spring.Where Should You Place Three Graduated Planters?
Put the largest 15.5-inch planter near an entry or corner as your anchor, then step the medium and small sizes in front or to the side to create depth. The graduated heights work well flanking a door or clustered on one side of a deck, and the raised lip detail adds a clean architectural line that pairs with other [outdoor planters](/collections/outdoor-planters) in neutral finishes. Indoors, group all three near a window or use the large size as a floor planter for a fiddle leaf fig, then position the smaller two on a console or sideboard.

- Can these planters stay outside all year?
- They're weather resistant year-round in climates that don't freeze, but you should bring them indoors when overnight lows drop below 32°F to prevent cracking.
- Will the terrazzo finish fade in direct sun?
- No, the stone-chip composite is UV stable and won't bleach or discolor under continuous sun exposure.
- How do I clean terrazzo planters after a season outdoors?
- Wipe them with a damp cloth only -- don't use household cleaners or chemicals, which can damage the terrazzo surface.
- Do these planters have drainage holes?
- Check the base of each piece for pre-drilled holes; if there aren't any, use a nursery pot with drainage inside the planter to protect plant roots.
- Which size works best for a mature fiddle leaf fig?
- The large 15.5-inch planter accommodates most mature fiddle leaf figs, while the medium 13-inch size suits younger trees or smaller indoor plants.
