Backyard Expressions Self-Watering Planter Set, 3-Piece Indoor & Outdoor Plant Pots with Water Reservoir, Water Level Window & Drainage Tray - White

Most houseplants do not die from neglect. They die from inconsistent watering - a heavy pour one week, then nothing for three. These self watering pots for indoor plants solve that with a cotton wick that runs from a removable reservoir in the base up into the root zone, letting each plant draw exactly as much water as it needs, when it needs it. Fill the reservoir and it keeps watering for up to a week, so a few days away no longer means finding someone to look after your plants. The set includes three planters in small, medium and large, enough to cover most of a collection or to move a plant up a size as it grows. Each one has a lift-out inner pot with drainage holes and a perforated, aerated base, so excess water drops into the reservoir instead of sitting around the roots. A clear water level indicator window on the outside of the base shows how much is left at a glance, and a side fill spout lets you top it up without lifting the plant, carrying it to the sink or disturbing the soil. Because the reservoir is built in, there are no separate saucers to knock over and no rings of water left on a shelf or desk. The matte upper pot and speckled terracotta base are finished to look deliberate on a desk, an office credenza, a windowsill or a living room shelf, and the durable plastic will not chip or crack the way ceramic does while staying light enough to move a planted pot with one hand. They suit pothos, snake plant, succulents, spider plant, peace lily, philodendron, African violet, orchids, herbs and most common houseplants. To use them, fill the reservoir through the side spout and refill when the indicator reads empty, typically about once a week, though thirsty plants, brighter light and warmer rooms will shorten that. For newly potted plants, water from the top for the first two to three weeks until the roots reach the wick.

• WATER LESS OFTEN: A cotton wick draws water up from the removable bottom reservoir into the soil, so your plants drink at their own pace instead of on your schedule. Fill the reservoir once and it keeps watering for up to a week - no saucer, no puddles on the windowsill, no scrambling to find a plant sitter before a trip.
• SEE EXACTLY WHEN TO REFILL: A clear water level indicator window on the base shows how much water is left at a glance, so you are not guessing or poking a finger into the soil. A side fill spout lets you top it up without lifting or moving the plant.
• DRAINAGE HOLES AND AN AERATED INNER POT: The inner pot lifts out and has a perforated base with drainage holes, so excess water passes into the reservoir instead of sitting around the roots. Self watering pots for indoor plants are only as good as their drainage, and this set is built to keep roots from staying wet.
• THREE SIZES IN ONE SET: Small, medium, and large planters cover most of a collection - pothos, snake plant, succulents, herbs, African violet, orchid, spider plant, or a small palm - and the sizes nest for storage when you are not using all three.
• MODERN TWO-TONE DESIGN: A matte upper pot over a speckled terracotta reservoir base looks intentional on a shelf, desk, windowsill, or office credenza. Durable plastic construction that will not chip or crack like ceramic, and light enough to move a planted pot with one hand.
