Self-Watering Planters Buying Guide

Can self-watering planters be used both indoors and outside?

The design of self-watering planters has evolved and there are both indoor and outdoor options; meaning you can have well-looked after plants all over the house! Many of our planters are equipped with an overflow system and a drain plug, which means they are perfectly suitable for outdoor use. Simply remove the drain plug when using it outside, as this can allow excess water to run off after a heavy rain shower and save your plant from becoming waterlogged.

Our self-watering planters are resistant to the elements, including frost in the winter. However, your plants need to be frost-proof too!

If you want to bring your planter inside, simply leave the drain plug in! If your self-watering planter doesn’t have a drain plug, it’s recommended that the planter only be used indoors.

How do I use my self-watering planters?

Your self-watering planter will be able to take care of your plants, but there are some points to follow to ensure they have the best start. During the first 3 months after you’ve planted your plant, you should water the plant from above as you would with a normal planter.

After this period, your plant’s roots should have grown enough to look after themselves with water from the reservoir!

So, to give yourself freedom to travel without worrying about your plants, consider investing in self-watering plants and change the way your home and garden looks.
