REOwoop planter boxes are very practical as well 
as most attractive. Plants grow nicely in our 
Jungle Mix. They should be closely planted to be 
effective. Watering should be kept to a minimum 
so plants do not overgrow. While they may be 
placed for short periods in dark places to keep 
them attractive for long periods they need a sunny 
location. Do not place on furniture without a metal 
tray beneath them.
