Self-Watering Wet Pots – Medium

Description

Smart, effortless hydration for thriving houseplants.

Designed in Sweden by Nils Plöjel, these ingenious self-watering Wet Pots eliminate the hassle of over- or under-watering. Pairing an unglazed terracotta planter with a clear, hand-blown glass reservoir, the system uses natural osmosis to let your plants draw precisely the moisture they need, when they need it. Equal parts functional garden tool and elegant tabletop accent, it provides an attractive home for your favorite greenery on any windowsill, desk, or patio.

Features of the Self-Watering Pot include:

• Self-Regulating Hydration: Natural terracotta walls absorb water from the outer reservoir, delivering continuous, optimal moisture directly to the roots.
• Artisan Craftsmanship: Features a portuguese-made terracotta planter with a glazed upper rim for comfortable handling, set inside a clear hand-blown glass base.
• Indoor & Outdoor Versatility: Ideal for bright indoor windowsills or outdoor dining setups during frost-free seasons.
• Proportional Sizing: Available in three sizes to accommodate everything from small desk accents to leafy ferns or flowering azaleas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the Self-Watering Wet Pots work?

Simply fill the glass reservoir with water. The porous, unglazed terracotta pot sits inside and slowly absorbs the water through its walls, letting your plant draw up only what it needs to thrive.

What sizes are available?

The Self-Watering Wet Pots come in three sizes: x-small (3.7h x 4.85″ diam.), small (5.2h x 6″ diam.), and medium (6.5h x 7.4″ diam.).

What plants are not suitable for these pots?

These pots are suitable for most houseplants but are not recommended for succulents or orchids.

Can the Self-Watering Wet Pots be used outdoors?

Yes, they are safe for both indoor and outdoor use as long as temperatures remain above freezing, since water in the glass reservoir could expand and break the glass if frozen.

What materials are the pots made from?

The pots are made from terracotta and hand-blown glass, with the upper section of the terracotta planter glazed for easier handling.

How do I clean the Self-Watering Wet Pots?

The terracotta pot should be washed by hand; the glass reservoir is dishwasher-safe. To clean by hand, use soapy water with some vinegar to remove any limestone residue from both the terracotta and glass.

Who designed the Self-Watering Wet Pots?

They were designed by Nils Plöjel in 2008 and are made in Portugal.
