Self-watering pots are a type of planter that has a built-in reservoir that supplies water to the plant’s roots. This allows the plant to water itself, which can be helpful for people who are busy or who travel frequently. Self-watering pots are also a good option for plants that need to be watered frequently, such as orchids or ferns.
Self-watering pots come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, ceramic, or metal. Some self-watering pots have a built-in water level indicator, which shows how much water is left in the reservoir. Others have a self-watering wick that draws water up from the reservoir to the plant’s roots.
