Product Description
Container gardening can be both advantageous and detrimental to a plant; you can easily control the surrounding soil environment, but plant roots can become too dry or too wet depending on watering habits. Self-watering planters offer an alternative way to water the plant, with many advantages. Soil within the pot perches above a base water reservoir where the plant’s roots can stretch down out of the soil and into the water for nourishment.
Self-watering planter ensures the plants take enough water they need for days. There comes a thick thread within that has to be placed in the inner layer of the pot through the pores given. The space between the inner and the outer layer is the place where water needs to be filled and you don’t have to water frequently as the thread will absorb the water and provide it to the plants when in necessary. The water has to be refilled only when the thread level does not reach the water.
Retains Nutrients
As you water a typical container garden, the soil nutrients slowly diffuse out of the medium with the water molecules. You will need to add organic matter periodically to keep the soil’s nutrient levels steady. Self-watering containers require you to water the soil normally, but the closed system allows the nutrients to stay within the immediate environment; any water overflow becomes trapped within an attached side jug. When the side jug is full of water, you simply pour it back onto the plant, much like creating your own water cycle. Nutrients are not expelled into a garden bed or out of container drain holes. As a result, you will find that your plant will flourish with the healthy nutrient levels.
Saves Water
Conserving water, especially in dry climates, is a constant concern for gardeners. Self-watering planters only evaporate some of the water from the soil, mainly after a direct watering from above. The trapped water in the reservoir cannot evaporate with the dense soil covering it; the jug will retain the water as well until you pour it back onto the plant. Watering amounts are considerably lower with self-watering planters while still retaining a healthy environment for growing even the most thirsty crops, from strawberries to dwarf fruit trees.
Saves Time
When you take a vacation or work long hours, it can take its toll on your container plant; you need to constantly monitor the soil’s moisture content for the best growing results. As a solution, self-watering planters give you more time for other activities without harming the plant. In fact, the plant can go several days without any watering action from you, even during the hot summer months. The semi-contained water cycle will continue as long as there is ample water; it would take a long time to slowly evaporate what moisture there is in the soil to damage the plant.
Encourages Healthy Root Growth
Savvy gardeners know that shallow watering can lead to shallow root growth; many desired crops, such as tomatoes, will have poor fruit growth with improper root supports. The self-watering planters allow you to deep water the container without any issues of root rot. Water flows to the bottom reservoir which stimulates roots to grow deep to find the moisture supply. Sturdy root systems will produce larger stems and branches above for even more foliage, flowers and fruit, depending on the plant type.
The pot comes as 2 layers – The outer one and the inner layer in which the plant has to be placed. The inner layer has pores and a gap between the two layers where the water can be stored. There is a small opening in the pot through which the water can be poured and the outer layer is transparent that allows you to see the water level.
There comes a thread along with it which is the water provider to the plants that has to be kept soaked in the water. There is no need to water the plants regularly. Once in 5 days, it needs to be checked. It is durable and will never crack, break easily. It is a light weight planter set which is easy to clean and maintain.
