Description

Self-watering indoor planter

Fill the cup. The rope does the rest.

An inner pot with drainage holes sits inside a clear cup of water, and a cotton wick lifts that water up into the soil as it dries. You see the level through the cup and top it up through a notch in the rim, without lifting the plant.

Four sizes from a cutting on a desk to a fern on the floor, in a white or gray inner pot. Each order is one pot.

How it works

Two pots, one wick, no guessing.

The inner pot holds the plant and soil. A cotton cord runs up through the hole in its base and sits in the soil; the rest hangs down into the clear cup. Pour water into the cup and the cord draws it upward by capillary action, so the soil takes what it needs and no more sits in the roots than the wick can carry.

Because the cup is clear you never wonder whether it is time. When the water line drops, pour through the notch in the rim and carry on.

What is in the box

Three parts, already together.

Inner

Pot with drainage holes

Matte white or gray plastic with a hole pattern in the base and a notch in the rim for refills. Soil and roots live here.

Outer

Clear reservoir cup

Transparent plastic, the same shape one size up. It is the water tank and the level gauge in one, and it catches anything that drains.

Wick

Cotton cord

Threads through the base hole. Damp it once at planting and it keeps drawing water up as the soil dries. Replace it with any cotton cord if it ever stiffens.

Sizes

Measured across the top of the inner pot.

Small
3.2 in wide, 4.4 in tall with the cup (8.2 x 11.3 cm); cuttings, succulent-sized starts, a desk plant
Medium
4.1 in wide, 5.4 in tall (10.5 x 13.8 cm); a plant from a 4 in nursery pot
Large
6 in wide, 7.2 in tall (15.3 x 18.2 cm); a plant from a 6 in nursery pot, a pothos or peace lily
Extra Large
9.3 in wide, 10.4 in tall (23.5 x 26.4 cm); a floor plant from an 8 to 9 in nursery pot
Colors
White or Gray inner pot; the outer cup is clear on both
Material
Plastic inner pot and clear plastic cup; cotton wick
In the box
One pot: inner pot, clear cup and wick. No plant, no soil

Setting it up

Ten minutes, once.

Thread the wick

Push the cord up through the base hole so a few inches sit inside the inner pot and the rest hangs below.

Plant and water once

Pot the plant with the wick running through the soil. Water from the top so soil and cord are damp to start.

Fill the cup

Set the inner pot into the clear cup and pour through the rim notch until the cup is part full. Refill when the line drops.

Straight answers

Which plants, and which not.

A wick keeps soil evenly moist, so it suits plants that like that: pothos, peace lily, anthurium, ferns, kitchen herbs. Cactus and succulents prefer to dry out; if you use it for those, let the cup run dry and stay dry between fills.

It is an indoor pot. The clear cup has no drain, so outside it needs a spot where rain cannot fill it. We do not publish a days-between-refills figure; the clear cup tells you.
