Bloem Round 11.0-in W x 11.0-in L Brown Plastic Indoor/Outdoor Self Watering Planter

The Ariana Self-Watering Plastic Planter by Bloem is perfect for any busy gardener, since it holds excess water and helps keep your plants from drying out. Here’s how: the potting mix is held above the water line by a sturdy screen. The water chamber is connected by small porous channels filled with soil, which then acts as a water wick. As water is used by the plant or evaporates from the surface of the soil, capillary action draws more water up from base of planter. The soil has just the right amount of water all the time, but also maintains air pockets, which plant roots need to stay healthy. If you’re forgetful or just not home very often, self-watering pots are a must-have. They’re also helpful if you’re growing in an area that’s not convenient to a water spigot, such as a balcony or office. Its traditional style and durable, UV-resistant, matte finish makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Looking to use the Ariana Planter outdoors? Knockout drainage holes are located at the bottom of the pot, allowing excess water to seep and helps prevent root rot during rainstorms.
