Product Information

Full details

The Lechuza NIDO Cottage 35 is a versatile, self-watering hanging planter designed for plant enthusiasts who want a blend of rustic aesthetics and modern irrigation convenience. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces, it features a unique flat base that allows it to transition from a hanging display to a tabletop centerpiece, though its 11-litre volume and 35cm diameter make it best suited for medium-sized plants rather than very large shrubs.

FAQs

Can I leave this planter outside in the winter?

While the planter is UV-resistant and shatterproof, it is recommended to empty the water reservoir and store the planter in a protected area during freezing temperatures.

How do I know when to water?

The integrated water level indicator will drop as the reservoir empties; simply refill via the water inlet until the gauge shows the maximum level.

Does this include the hanging cables?

Yes, the product includes the durable, rust-proof stainless steel hanger system.

Is the material safe for indoor use?

Yes, the planter is made from high-quality plastic and is perfectly safe for indoor use, though we recommend using a tray if there is a risk of overflow.

Can I put this directly on a wooden deck?

Yes, the flat base allows the NIDO Cottage 35 to sit securely on flat surfaces like decks or tables.

Troubleshooting

Water level indicator not moving

Check if the float mechanism is stuck or obstructed by debris; gently tap the side of the planter.

Plant soil looks too dry

Ensure the water reservoir is filled; for new plantings, water from the top for the first few weeks until roots reach the reservoir.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile dual-placement options (hanging or tabletop)
  • Durable, weather-resistant construction suitable for outdoor use
  • Self-watering system saves time on daily plant care
  • Easy-to-read water level indicator
  • Elegant Granite finish fits various decor styles

Cons

  • Fixed hanging system may not fit all types of ceiling hooks
  • Requires assembly of the cable hanger system
  • Larger size might be too heavy for some lighter-duty plant hooks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the NIDO Cottage 35 is straightforward. First, install the stainless steel cables onto the pre-designated points on the planter rim. Ensure your ceiling hook or mounting point is rated for the total weight of the planter, soil, and water. When planting, we recommend adding a layer of substrate at the bottom to assist with drainage. For maintenance, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to keep the Granite finish looking pristine. During freezing winter months, it is advisable to move the planter indoors or empty the reservoir to prevent potential ice expansion damage.
