Meet the planter that changes everything.

“I love plants… but why do mine always die?”

If you’ve ever come home to wilted leaves, struggled to remember watering schedules, or felt guilty tossing another dead plant — you’re not alone.

This is why we re-invented the self-watering planter:

Whether you’re new to houseplants or already know self-watering planters, this modern upgrade keeps plants thriving for up to 4 weeks — with a larger water reservoir, minimalist matte design, and clear water level window so you’ll never have to guess (or stress) about watering again.

Why You’ll Love It:
  • Bigger water reservoir — lasts up to 4 weeks between waterings, less refilling

  • Water level indicator — know exactly when to refill, no guesswork

  • Transparent inner insert — easily check soil moisture and root health

  • Wick system inspired by nature — roots drink only what they need, preventing overwatering

  • Breathing design — airflow keeps roots healthy and prevents root rot

  • Modern minimalist look — smooth matte finish complements any decor

  • Designed in California — backed by our 90-day happiness guarantee

  • Free shipping when you order 3 or more planters

Your plant knows what it needs. This pot just listens

  • Fill the reservoir through the side water port
  • The wick draws up water as the soil dries
  • Your plant drinks at its own pace — no overwatering
  • Peek at the water level window when it’s time to refill
  • No drainage tray
  • No waterlogged roots
  • No daily check-ins

Bonus tip: For drought-loving plants, wait 2–5 days after the reservoir is empty before refilling — they’ll thrive on the break

  • Outer Pot (1) — Smooth, matte white finish with a minimalist vibe
  • Transparent Inner Insert (1) — For easy root and soil moisture monitoring
  • Watering Wick (2) — One to use, one for backup (or extra-thirsty plants)

Why Our Planter is Different

We focus on what really matters - root health.
Most planters hide the roots and limit airflow, causing suffocation, bacterial growth, and root rot. Our design solves these problems with three powerful innovations:

1

Transparent Inner Pot — Instant Root Check

Transparent inner pot
  • See root health anytime without removing the plant
  • Monitor soil moisture with zero guesswork
  • Spot problems early and keep plants thriving
2

Advanced Oxygenation — Healthy Roots for Life

Advanced oxygenation
  • Ventilation holes on the sides and bottom for constant airflow
  • Prevents harmful fungi and bacteria
  • Promotes long-lasting plant health and stronger growth
3

Smart Watering System — Perfect Moisture, Always

Smart watering system
  • Watering inlet lets you fill the reservoir directly — no oversaturation
  • Oxygen flow into the root zone for healthier plants
  • Wick system delivers exactly the right amount of water

Product FAQs

Our planters use a two-part design with a bottom-fill watering system:

  • Inner pot with ventilation holes on the walls and bottom for optimal airflow to the roots.
  • Outer pot with a built-in water reservoir and water inlet for easy refilling.
  • A wick at the base draws water upward from the reservoir, giving your plant the ideal balance of oxygen and moisture — no soggy roots, no dry spells.
  1. After planting, water thoroughly from the top once to moisten all soil.
  2. Let the plant adapt for a few weeks. After that, add water only through the water inlet.
  3. Watch the water level indicator and refill when low.
  4. For drought-tolerant plants (ZZ plants, snake plants) or dense soils, allow a 2–5 day dry period after the indicator shows “empty” before refilling — this encourages root aeration and prevents overwatering.

Note: Over time, some plants will grow water roots that extend into the reservoir — this is normal and helps the plant drink efficiently.

Once your plant adjusts, the reservoir can last up to 4 weeks between refills, depending on the plant, pot size, and your home’s environment.

  • Use a water-soluble liquid fertilizer at ¼–½ strength of the label’s recommendation.
  • Add fertilizer through the water inlet during normal refills.
  • Because the root zone stays moist, lighter but regular feeding works best.
  • During active growth (spring–summer), fertilize every 3–4 weeks; reduce or pause in winter.
  • Flush the soil periodically by watering from the top until excess drains into the reservoir, then empty and rinse the reservoir to prevent salt buildup and keep the wick efficient.

Yes! You can grow any plant — just adjust care to its needs:

  • For drought-tolerant plants (dracaenas, ZZ, snake plants): use well-draining, airy soil and allow a 2–5 day dry period after the reservoir empties before refilling.
  • For thirsty plants (peace lilies, ferns, tropicals): add a second wick to increase water flow.

Always match the soil mix to your plant’s preference.

Many plants adapt by growing water roots directly into the reservoir. These roots are smoother and more translucent than soil roots and specialize in absorbing water. This is normal and healthy.

No — the inner pot sits above the water line when you follow the indicator. Ventilation holes let oxygen reach the roots, while the wick draws just enough water. If water roots grow into the reservoir, they’re adapted to be submerged and won’t rot.

Use a light, well-draining indoor mix so the wick can efficiently move moisture upward. Heavy soils can block airflow and suffocate roots.

Roots need oxygen just like leaves need sunlight. Our design — with a water & oxygen inlet and ventilation holes on the walls and base — lets fresh air reach the root zone, while the wick and reservoir provide steady moisture. This keeps roots healthy, prevents rot, and encourages strong growth.

Only during initial setup or after repotting should you water from the top to fully moisten the soil. After that, always refill through the water inlet to keep the system functioning and avoid over-saturating the top layer.

Every few months, or if you notice any organic matter or mineral buildup, you can:

  • With plant in place: Empty any remaining water from the outer pot, wash it with warm soapy water and rinse gently.
  • For a deep clean: If repotting or the planter is empty, remove the inner pot and wick, wash with warm soapy water, and for mineral buildup, soak in vinegar water for 15 minutes before rinsing.

Choose a planter that is 1–2 inches larger than your plant’s root ball.

  • Too small → roots quickly run out of space and growth stalls.
  • Too large → excess soil may stay wet too long, raising root rot risk.

  • Transparent inner insert — Easily check root health and moisture without disturbing the plant.
