Product Information

Full details

This Clever Pots Round Plant Pot with Reservoir is ideal for busy gardeners or those who want to ensure their plants receive consistent hydration with minimal effort. Its key benefit is the self-watering reservoir, reducing the frequency of manual watering and promoting healthier root growth. A potential consideration is that while weather-resistant, it is made of polypropylene plastic, which may have a different aesthetic than ceramic or terracotta pots.

FAQs

How often should I refill the water reservoir?

Refill frequency depends on the plant type, size, temperature, and humidity. Check the water level regularly; typically, it will need refilling every few days to a week. Monitor your plant's soil moisture as a primary guide.

Can this pot be used indoors?

While designed for outdoor use and weather resistance, it can be used indoors. However, ensure it is placed on a surface that can handle potential water spills or drips, as reservoir systems can sometimes overfill or leak if not managed carefully.

What size plants is this pot suitable for?

The 40cm pot is suitable for medium to large plants. Refer to the specific dimensions if you need to house a particularly large or small plant.

Does the reservoir need special maintenance?

Periodically clean the reservoir to prevent stagnation or algae buildup. Emptying and rinsing it every few weeks or months, depending on usage and environment, is recommended.

What is the material of the pot?

The pot is made from durable polypropylene plastic.

Are the accessories for vertical planting included?

No, the drainpipe pot holders, wall brackets, and wire hangers for vertical planting are sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears overwatered or waterlogged

Ensure the reservoir is not overfilled or is draining correctly. Allow the reservoir to dry out completely between waterings for plants that prefer drier conditions. Check that the pot feet are allowing adequate airflow.

Soil seems too dry despite a full reservoir

Verify that the soil is making proper contact with the reservoir's water delivery system. Ensure the reservoir opening is not blocked. For very porous soils, initial top watering might be needed to establish capillary action.

Algae or unpleasant odor in the reservoir

Empty the reservoir completely and clean it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly. Allow it to dry before refilling. Using filtered water may help prevent future issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply fill the integrated reservoir with water through the designated opening. Add your plant and soil as usual, ensuring the soil makes contact with the reservoir's moisture-wicking system if applicable. For initial planting, water the soil from the top to ensure it settles well.

Compatibility: This pot is designed for general use with most potting soils and plants. It is compatible with Clever Pots' range of drainpipe pot holders, wall brackets, and wire hangers (sold separately) for creating vertical planting arrangements.

Care: Clean the pot periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic. Ensure the reservoir is cleaned out occasionally to prevent stagnation or algae growth, especially if the pot is left unused for extended periods.
