Is the Vela Nano planter suitable for outdoor use?
In the matt version, yes – the planter is weatherproof and intended for outdoor use. The lacquered version is intended for indoor use only. Drainage is required for outdoor use.
Can I put the illuminated Vela Nano outside?
An important restriction applies here: the planter itself is weatherproof in the matt version. However, the lighting of the Nano models is rated IP20 and, according to the manufacturer, approved for indoor use only – unlike the larger models, whose LED is protected to IP65. If you are looking for an illuminated planter for outdoors, please choose a larger model in the series.
