Self-watering Pot System
A self-watering planter, also known as a self-watering container or a sub-irrigation planter, is a type of planter that has a built-in reservoir system to supply water to the plants as needed. These planters are designed to provide a consistent water supply, reducing the frequency of manual watering and helping to maintain optimal moisture levels for plant growth.
The planter is divided into two main sections—a planting area and a reservoir. The reservoir is located at the bottom of the planter and is designed to hold water.The self-watering planter typically has a fill tube or a watering hole through which you can add water to the reservoir. This allows you to easily replenish the water supply without disturbing the plants.
