    Sub-Irrigation System

    Automate your watering by filling a reservoir that stays in the bottom of your planter. Through capillary action, the water wicks up through the soil and roots, keeping the soil at the ideal moisture level.
    ________________________________________
    Key Functions:

    • Consistent Hydration: It acts as a reliable, continuous source of water, using capillary action to draw water up into the soil as the plant needs it.

    • Preventing Overwatering and Under-watering: The system's design ensures the plant only absorbs the moisture it requires. This eliminates the risk of overwatering (which leads to root rot) and under-watering (which leads to wilting and dehydration) by providing a stable moisture balance.

    • Reduced Watering Frequency: The self watering reservoir stores a larger volume of water, significantly extending the time between refills (often from days to weeks). This is a major convenience, especially for busy individuals, travelers, or large plant collections.

    • Water Efficiency: Water is supplied directly to the roots from below and is contained within the system, minimizing waste from surface runoff and evaporation. The plant consumes only what it needs as the system mimics ground water in nature.

    • Improved Plant Health: By maintaining optimal, stable moisture conditions, the reservoir promotes healthier root growth, which leads to more vigorous, vibrant, and productive plants. Ideal for water tight indoor planters that cannot drain.

    Please reach out with any questions, we commonly supply these self watering systems pre-installed in our planters for commercial installations. We can also manufacture different sizes or shapes if you do not see one that works for your pot.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Custom and personalized orders

    YES, because these are not mass produced, we can easily make any dimension or color. Just message us.

    Have an idea? Please reach out, in fact, the Oolal rain barrel was born out of a customer request here on Etsy to convert a planter.

    Wholesale availability

    Absolutely, Trade Discounts too. Please reach out.

    Sizing details

    Seriously, it is no sweat if you want a size you do not see listed. It will take us the same amount of time to make. (Less than 2 weeks to get shipped.)

    Care instructions

    The fiberglass planters are coated with a two part urethane coating that is extremely durable and chemical resistant. The most common care issue is that you can get hard water spots on the planters from splashing when you water them. Dawn soap works great, but you can use any household cleaner worry free.

    If you drop your planter or someone backs into it with a car, please message us for repair and touch up kits.

    Damage During Shipping?

    We package the planters really well, so shipping damage is uncommon. Also, we pay extra to insure each shipment. So, when you receive your package, if the box looks banged up at all, take pictures BEFORE you open the box. If the delivery person is still there, please have them note the damage or you can even refuse delivery.

    Take care in removing your planter from the box. The bigger planters can be heavy, so have a friend help lift out of the box. Do not slide your planter out of an open top box onto the ground.

    Regardless what happens, we'll help make it right!
