GU GREENERY : UNLIMITED Fondra Self Watering Pot for 6″ Plants, Modern Indoor Ceramic Planter, Maintains Healthy Roots & Proper Drainage, Deep Reservoir – Comes with Aeration Stones & Insert

Don’t worry about your plants when you go on vacation! This planter will easily keep your plant watered for 3-6 weeks. Our patented sub-irrigation insert and specially formulated aeration stones allow plants to drink from the roots, just as nature intended. Simply lift the planter to refill the dish below when the reservoir is empty. Watering from below ensures fast growth and healthy plants. It’s never been easier to know when and what kind of to water your plants! SET UP: Place the Sub-Irrigation Insert into the planter, fill the pot with the included Aeration Stones, and pot your plant. Give the plant a heavy watering when first planted, until water runs freely out of the bottom of the Sub-Irrigation Insert. From here, you will want to top-water for 2-4 weeks, until the plant’s roots grow down into the reservoir. You’ll be able to test to make sure the plant’s roots have grown down by filling up the reservoir 1/4 to 1/2 way. If the water level goes down on its own, you’re in business. Just remember to give your plant a “dry-out” period between refilling the reservoir, regularly 2-5 days depending on the plant. Consider if every time you got thirsty, you had to wait two days and then be forced to chug a gallon of water. Sounds stressful, right? By watering from the bottom, instead of the top, the plants roots may be able to grow into the water reservoir and they can administer their own moisture, at their own pace. These planters have the added benefit of being able to see the plant’s roots directly, so You’ll be able to troubleshoot your plant’s health without needing to un-plant it. Additionally, the design allows for increased root oxygenation, which prevents pesky issues like root rot. Watering from the bottom can also prevent gnats, by keeping the top layer of soil where the nymphs gestate dry.
