It says 10 mins on the bag, and that's kind of what Id expect. Postcrete is something like that. And proper solid within the half hour.

Why not use a base weighted down with water or sand bags inside the planter rather than faff about mixing concrete you'll never be able to move afterwards?

You could also secrete "Doughty" Boombases if you want to add discrete mass to the leg bases?

What happens when the terracota cracks?
