Buy stunning indoor self-watering planters or choose these pot models for your garden. You will see the difference especially when you shouldn’t have to think about watering your favorite flowers for almost 3-4 weeks.

Simplified plant care system

Many gardeners want to choose a convenient, autonomous plant care system that provides timely moisture supply. This will be relevant both for the agricultural sector and for a small collection of indoor plants. People have come up with different ways to avoid watering plants every day but to ensure that they receive enough water. The most popular system is long flasks with a ball on top: add water and the ground will absorb it. But technology does not stand still, and the LECHUZA brand offered an innovative solution – unique automatic watering planters for house, yard, veranda, etc.

Why select self-watering pots?

You have already realized that the first advantage is ease of use because you do  ot need to think about watering your flowers every day. You might choose such pots even for your office and leave the plants for the weekend. The second benefit is growing plants for beginners who do not want to learn the features of watering for each plant. Your task is simple, fill the reservoir inside the planter and watch how the plant takes the required amount of moisture on its own. Don’t worry that you poured too much water and the horse system may rot. The plant will take enough water to be healthy and beautiful.

What does a self-watering pot consist of?

There is a classic auto-watering pot system where you need to place the flower in a container. The pot consists of two parts where one part is slightly smaller than the other and their height is different. It is this difference that allows you to get a space inside that will serve as a container for water. The inner part of the pot has small drainage holes so that water from the tank goes into the flower soil. It is with the help of such holes that the plant receives the necessary amount of moisture to moisten its soil.

These pots have:

• A special substrate inside that acts as a drainage layer and can be a good alternative to
  regular soil.
• Water level indicator that works like a float so you may see how much liquid is left.
• A convenient shaft makes it simpler for you to add liquid to the tank without spilling it.
• Retractable handle as part of the inner pot, for easier caring the plant.

There is a simple wick system where there is no reservoir inside. This is another system that also allows plants to take the required amount of moisture without your help. Watering consists of having a space with liquid and a pot with a plant. You take the wick and insert it into the hole at the bottom part of the pot, then place the pot into the container.

Healthy plants without the hassle of care

By purchasing such pots, you may leave the house when necessary without worrying about your green corner. An automatic watering system will be useful if you plan to grow plants in the yard and you have a region with a hot climate. There is a large selection of such models, so you will find something exclusive for your interior and exterior. Growing plants can be easy and enjoyable so you can enjoy their stunning beauty without the hassle of care.
