Why are self-watering pots a good choice?

Many gardeners deny themselves the pleasure of growing plants because they do not want to add to the hassle of caring for them.

But now experienced and novice flower growers have found a unique solution. These are pots with an automatic watering system. The design, sizes and shapes of such pots can be different so that you can grow large plants, flowers and even ornamental trees. The material of such pots is very durable and temperature stable for growing plants in the yard or on the veranda.

Caring for plants in pots with automatic watering

You’ve already purchased these stunning pots and it’s time to replant your plants in them. The whole process is done as usual. After repotting the plant, water it as usual using a watering can from above. You don’t need to add water to the pot’s reservoir yet, but water the plant as usual for about 12 weeks. This is necessary so that the soil and roots are saturated with a sufficient amount of moisture, grow and go to a humid area. The process may take more or less than 12 weeks.

To check if the roots have gone into the wet area, you need to lift the internal planter. If you see root shoots, you can pour water into the tank. To pour enough water, look at the indicators. Once you have filled the tank you need to wait a week and then see if the water level has dropped. If the water is absorbed into the soil, then the automatic watering system works and you may leave the plant to take the required amount of moisture. If the water level has not
dropped after a week, the system does not work. Remove all liquid from the reservoir.

If you switched to automatic watering, then your plant will be safe because it will receive the required amount of liquid when it is needed. There is a simple rule here that you need to know. When the liquid in the reservoir runs out, do not rush to add new water. Wait a certain amount of time: for indoor plants this is about a week. During this period, the soil will dry out a little because there is still moisture left in it that needs to be gotten rid of. After a week, add water to the tank. It is also important to note that if you are using an automatic watering system, you do not need to water the plant as usually. There will be enough water in the tank to provide the necessary moisture to the soil and root system. You can be sure that the plant will not suffer from overwatering.

Conclusion

Flower pots with automatic watering are liked by many plant lovers because they are beautiful and convenient. You don’t have to worry about your green space when you go on vacation. You don’t have to ask friends or neighbors to water your plants for fear that they might harm them. Just follow the above points for caring for auto-watering planters and you will see how easy and enjoyable it is to grow any plants. Such exclusive pots will become your reliable assistants and also an impeccable element of the interior and exterior.
