This Lechuza Classico planter is designed for plant enthusiasts seeking a low-maintenance solution for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the self-watering system that provides plants with water and nutrients for up to 12 weeks, minimizing frequent watering. A minor caveat is that the self-watering system reduces the overall planting space within the pot. This planter features a UV and frost-resistant polyresin construction with a matte slate finish, a water reservoir, a water level indicator, and includes mineral plant substrate with fertilizer.

Depending on the planter size and the plant's water needs, the reservoir can supply water for 2 to 12 weeks.
The included substrate is optimized for the self-watering system and contains fertilizer. While you can use other potting mixes, ensure they are well-draining and consider adding fertilizer separately if needed.
The internal planting space is reduced by the self-watering system. Specific internal measurements without the system are provided, but the actual planting volume will be less.
Yes, it can be used for edible plants, but ensure you use a suitable potting mix and monitor plant health closely. The included mineral substrate is generally safe, but some may prefer organic options for edibles.
Yes, the polyresin material is UV and frost-resistant, making it suitable for both intense sunlight and cold temperatures.
The planter features a water level indicator that visually shows how much water is left in the reservoir.
After the initial period, you can begin refilling the water reservoir. The plant will then draw water as needed from the reservoir.
Ensure the plant has been manually watered from the top for the initial 10-12 weeks to establish root contact with the substrate and reservoir. Check that the wick or substrate is making good contact with the water. Clean the reservoir if it appears stagnant.
Confirm that the drainage plug has been removed or is positioned correctly for outdoor drainage. Check the drainage hole for any obstructions.
Empty the reservoir completely, clean it with mild soap and water, and rinse thoroughly before refilling. This can occur if the planter has been left stagnant for extended periods.
If still within the initial 10-12 week manual watering period, reduce the frequency of top watering. If the reservoir is full and the plant is waterlogged, consider removing the plant temporarily, allowing the soil to dry, and ensuring the drainage plug is functioning correctly if outdoors.
