The Lechuza Cube Color 16 is an ideal choice for home cooks and plant enthusiasts looking to keep store-bought herbs or small houseplants vibrant on a windowsill without the hassle of traditional repotting. Its defining benefit is the clever sub-irrigation wick system, which allows you to place plants directly in their original grow pots while maintaining consistent moisture levels; however, users should note that the reservoir capacity is tailored specifically for smaller plants and will need monitoring during warmer, drier months.

Check to ensure the float mechanism is not obstructed by debris or the wick and is able to move freely within the shaft.
Ensure the wick is firmly inserted into the bottom of the grow pot and is touching the moist substrate.
Confirm that the planter is on a level surface and that there are no cracks in the internal liner.
Setup is straightforward: start by attaching the wick to the base of your herb's current nursery pot. Once the wick is secured, lower the pot into the Cube. Fill the water reservoir until the indicator shows the desired level. For maintenance, keep the planter clean by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth. Because the material is UV-resistant and shatterproof, it requires minimal care even if used on a sun-drenched balcony or patio. During the winter, ensure you are not over-filling the reservoir, as plants typically have lower water requirements during dormant periods.
