FAQs
How long does the self-watering system last on a single fill?
The self-watering system can provide water and nutrients for 2-12 weeks, depending on the planter size, plant's water needs, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Do I need to use special soil with this planter?
No, standard potting soil is suitable. The self-watering system works effectively with most common potting mixes.
Can I use this planter outdoors in freezing temperatures?
Yes, the planter is frost-proof, meaning it can withstand freezing temperatures without shattering. However, it's advisable to empty the water reservoir during prolonged deep freezes to prevent potential ice expansion issues.
What does 'internal measurements exclude the self-watering system' mean?
It means that the volume specified for planting does not include the space taken up by the integrated water reservoir and its components. You will have slightly less soil and root space than the total internal volume might suggest.
How do I know when to refill the water reservoir?
Most Lechuza planters include a water level indicator. If yours does not, you will need to periodically check the reservoir manually or observe your plant's watering needs, as indicated by soil moisture.
Is the white finish prone to yellowing from UV exposure?
No, the planter is manufactured from premium-grade plastic that is UV-safe, which helps prevent discoloration or degradation from sunlight exposure.
Can I add fertilizer to the water reservoir?
Yes, liquid fertilizer can be added to the water reservoir. Follow the fertilizer manufacturer's dilution instructions carefully.
Troubleshooting
Plant appears dry despite water in the reservoir.
Ensure the wick or capillary system is properly seated and making contact with the soil. Check that the water level is sufficient and that there are no blockages in the system. The initial 10-12 week top-watering period might still be ongoing; continue top watering if this is the case.
Water is not draining from the reservoir.
Verify that the overflow drain (if present) is not obstructed. Ensure the planter is not overfilled with water. Check for any manufacturing defects in the reservoir system.
Glossy finish seems dull or has smudges.
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for plastics and wipe dry immediately to restore shine.
Planter feels unstable.
Ensure the planter is placed on a level and stable surface. Check that the planter is not top-heavy due to excessive soil or plant size relative to the base.
