Using an inner pot: Place a plastic inner pot in the metal pot to prevent rust formation due to moisture.
Drainage: Ensure that excess water can drain away properly, especially when used outdoors. Use hydro grains on the bottom.

Prevent rust: Choose stainless steel or coated metal pots if using them outdoors.
Regular cleaning: Clean the pot with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain its shine.
