Product Information

Full details

This self-watering planter from Lechuza is designed for plant enthusiasts seeking a stylish and low-maintenance solution for their greenery. Its key benefit is the integrated sub-irrigation system that provides plants with water and nutrients for up to 12 weeks, minimizing the need for frequent watering. A minor caveat is that the internal self-watering system reduces the overall planting space.

FAQs

How long does the water last in the reservoir?

Depending on the planter size and plant's needs, the water reservoir can supply water and nutrients for 2 to 12 weeks.

Do I need to use special soil?

No, you can use standard potting soil. The self-watering system works effectively with most common soil types.

Can I use this planter outdoors?

Yes, the Lechuza Classico 35 LS is made from durable, weather-resistant plastic and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is freeze-resistant and fade-proof.

How do I know when to refill the water tank?

The planter features a water level indicator that clearly shows when the reservoir needs to be refilled.

What is the purpose of the drain plug?

The drain plug is used to release excess water, especially important during rainy periods when used outdoors, to prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged and protect against root rot.

How do I repot or change the plant?

The planter comes with an interchangeable inner liner, making it easy to remove the plant and its soil, trim roots, or replace the plant without disturbing the entire planter setup.

Will the self-watering system affect the plant's root growth?

The system is designed to provide moisture as needed. For the first 10-12 weeks, it's recommended to top-water to encourage roots to grow down towards the reservoir. After this, the plant will naturally draw water from the bottom.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears wilted despite a full reservoir.

Ensure the water level indicator is functioning correctly and the wick system is properly seated. Check if the plant has been in the planter for less than 10-12 weeks, as it may still require initial top-watering.

Water is draining from the plug during light rain.

This is normal behavior to prevent waterlogging. If you wish to retain more water during light rainfall, ensure the drain plug is securely inserted.

Visible algae or mold in the reservoir.

Empty and clean the reservoir thoroughly with mild soap and water. Rinse well before refilling. Reduce direct sunlight exposure on the reservoir if possible.

Planter is difficult to move when planted.

For larger models (CLASSICO 43-70), consider purchasing an optional coaster. The CLASSICO 35 LS is generally lightweight enough to be moved manually.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces watering frequency significantly.
  • Durable and weather-resistant construction for longevity.
  • Stylish design enhances indoor and outdoor spaces.
  • Prevents common watering issues like over or under-watering.
  • Easy to maintain and clean.

Cons

  • Internal system reduces available planting volume.
  • Requires initial top-watering period for plant adaptation.
  • Larger sizes may require a coaster for mobility when planted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the planter by ensuring the inner pot, outer pot, and water reservoir components are correctly fitted.
  2. Initially, top-water your plant directly into the soil for the first 10-12 weeks to help it establish.
  3. After the adaptation period, fill the water reservoir through the designated opening until the water level indicator shows it is full.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most medium-sized plants, both indoor and outdoor.
  • Can be used with standard potting soil.
  • The planter is freestanding.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Occasionally, rinse the plant and the interchangeable liner under running water to remove dust, as recommended.
  • Ensure the drain plug is in place for outdoor use unless you need to drain excess water.
  • Store indoors during harsh winter months if extreme freezing is a concern, though it is designed to be freeze-resistant.
