I just bought two of these planters. Is it necessary to seal the inside before planting?

Ive had them for almost a year and I never did. They are holding up just fine.

Are you planning to place this on grass or a paved surface? I placed mine on my potion near my pool so I placed a cloth where there drain holes are. That way it can allow the water to pass through without allowing the dirt out. I am pretty happy with mine and am even thinking of buying more. Good luck with yours!

There is a soft rubber seal around the lid which if tightened ought to prevent moisture getting in/out. I have not tested this however, it is just m impression from inspecting the container.

I left them as is. No need to cover them. Just make sure the seeds are placed into the hole deep enough (at least 1/2 "). I use Long tweezers to insert the seeds Individually. Works great.

There is a tray inside the planter that has draining holes. It sits inside so it will drain on the inside so you have to empty it out every once in awhile. no biggie. Great planter.

I used it on both the inside and out. Because it is going on wood that is not sealed expect to use most of the can for one planter.

I have not seen a need to reseal them. I use them as plant stands and they do the job well and are beautiful to look at. So functional and surprisingly sturdy as well.

No necessary... I use a sealed large jar. It keeps them fresh for months. If you freeze them, seal them well from frost.

Just make sure you follow the recommended watering ..... Also for humidity put a shallow dish with rocks to keep planter out of the water and misting also .....

I think yes but you still have secure it with nails because when it's filled with soil it becomes very heavy and wobbly. great planters however. Mine were stunning last year i bought 4. :-)

The clear plastic seed tube (which is very heavy duty) fits inside of the all metal mesh shroud. The top rim of the seed tube fits about 1/2" below the top cover of the metal shroud. If it was sealed there would condensation and you don't want that. I have had some very heavy rain storms this spring and surprisingly the seeds have not gotten wet. But normally I have to fill it everyday anyway. I believe if you purchase one, you will delightfully worry more about keeping it fill with seed than the rain getting in!! Happy Birding!

My tables seem to be natural, so I imagine you can seal them with any poly product for protection. You may want to try the smallest one first, but you can buy a spray product in any hardware store and be sure and ask the people working there what they would suggest. I have my plants resting in small see thru containers to hold any excess water, and that has worked fine. Have these in my bedroom window and the plants have flourished as look great.

Before we filled this with plants, we put it outside with the plugs left in. It rained, and it did hold water. I didn't check to see if it leaked, though. If I planned on using it indoors, I'd probably put a tray under it to catch drips. Indoor plants need proper drainage, too.

I used peat and it worked out fine.As for humidity I put a couple of glasses of water inside with the humidity/temperature gauge.No problems whatsoever.Good luck.(Oh,and in case you weren't aware.Be sure to germinate you seeds in water for a few days before planting.Tiny little sprouts.Then plant.)

The planter has a botton but it is open on the sides. You can place a pot in it. I am very pleased with this planter.

No. There is a seal but it's not airtight. I mainly use this as a decorative piece for my counter. I love it like that.

No. I used coir matting in the bottom and sides of mine and put the potting soil in over the matting so I'd get good drainage. I'd be hesitant to use anything like a tray because of the drainage.

Use a planter that you can take inside and you can plant them now. Less water is better.
