Self-watering planters have been around for a while, but only recently have they been popular. They are a hassle-free way to grow plants in your home or office and they can be perfect for busy planters or new planters! In this article, we will be going over the benefits of self-watering planters to help you understand how they can help you.

What are Self-Watering Planters?

A self watering planter is a planter pot container that is filled with a small reservoir that is filled with water. The water is held in the reservoir and a wick will connect the soil to the water. The wick is a thin string that draws water up to the reservoir through capillary action. As long as the wick is moist, the water will go from the bottom to the plants and help them stay healthy! When the reservoir of water is empty, the wick dries out and the plant will stop receiving water.

What are the Benefits of Self Watering Planters?

Self watering planters have many benefits whether you are a beginner planter or an experienced planter who may be busy. The benefits of a self watering planter include:

  • They are convenient and can help you save time.
