Self-watering planters use a reservoir and wicking action to provide steady moisture to houseplants, reducing over- and under-watering. Choose the right size, use well-draining potting mix, refill and clean the reservoir regularly, and monitor plant health.
Self-watering planters keep plants hydrated while you're away by using a reservoir and capillary action. Match pot size and soil to the plant, prime the system before leaving, and expect several weeks of unattended care - sometimes longer with larger reservoirs.
