The Lechuza Classico White Polyresin Self Watering Planter Pot (21cm - 2 Pack) is designed for plant enthusiasts who want to simplify plant care, especially for those who travel or forget to water regularly. Its key benefit is the self-watering system that provides a consistent water supply for up to 12 weeks, minimizing manual watering. A potential caveat is that the self-watering system reduces the internal planting space.

The water reservoir can provide water for your plants for 2 to 12 weeks, depending on the planter size, plant type, and environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity).
Yes, the included high-quality pure mineral plant substrate with fertilizer is specifically designed to work with the self-watering system and provide essential nutrients for the initial period.
It means the stated internal dimensions do not account for the space taken up by the water reservoir and sub-irrigation system. Your actual planting space will be slightly smaller than these measurements indicate.
While possible, these planters are best suited for plants that prefer consistently moist soil. Succulents and cacti typically require drier conditions, and you would need to be very careful not to overwater them, possibly by leaving the reservoir empty and only watering manually.
The polyresin material is UV and frost-resistant, making it durable for outdoor use. However, it's still advisable to protect sensitive plants from extreme frost or heat.
After emptying the planter, you can rinse the reservoir with water. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing. Ensure it is completely dry before refilling.
Ensure the drainage hole is clear and the drainage plug is removed if excess water is a persistent issue, especially in very humid environments or during rainy seasons. Check if the water level indicator is functioning correctly.
Verify that the self-watering system is correctly assembled and seated within the planter. Check for any obstructions in the water level indicator or reservoir opening.
Confirm the plant has completed its initial 10-12 week acclimation period. Ensure the roots have grown into the substrate layer where water is supplied. Check that the water level indicator accurately reflects the water in the reservoir.
This can be mineral deposits from the water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Using filtered water for refills can help minimize this.
