The Lechuza Classico Self-Watering Planter is designed for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts who want a low-maintenance solution for keeping porch, patio, or indoor plants healthy. Its primary benefit is a built-in irrigation system that provides consistent hydration for up to 12 weeks, though users should note that new plants require a 10-12 week initial establishment period of top-watering before the reservoir system takes full effect.

Yes, they are made from high-grade materials that are UV and frost-resistant, making them ideal for patios and porches.
The reservoir can sustain a plant for 2 to 12 weeks, depending on the specific plant's water needs, the size of the planter, and the local climate.
The kit includes mineral substrate, but you will need standard potting soil to fill the remaining space in the planter around the plant's root ball.
Yes, it provides a visual reference for how much water is left in the reservoir, helping you avoid both over-watering and under-watering.
This ensures the root system grows deep enough into the planter to eventually reach the water supply provided by the self-watering reservoir.
Ensure the indicator rod is properly assembled and not obstructed by substrate or debris.
The plant may not yet have roots established deep enough to reach the moisture; continue top-watering until the root system matures.
Clean gently with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the finish.
To set up your planter, first insert the included removable separator into the base of the pot. Layer the provided mineral substrate over the separator before adding your potting soil and plant. During the first 10-12 weeks, you must top-water the plant directly onto the soil to ensure the roots grow downward toward the reservoir. Once the roots are established, you can begin filling the reservoir through the integrated shaft. For care, wipe the matte surface with a damp cloth to remove dust. The planter is frost-resistant, but it is recommended to bring the planter indoors if extreme winter temperatures occur, or ensure excess water is drained from the reservoir to prevent internal ice expansion.
