Self Watering Planter

Container gardening can be both beneficial and detrimental to a plant; you can easily control the surrounding soil environment, but plant roots can become too dry or too wet depending on watering habits. Self-watering planters offer an alternative way to water the plant, with many benefits. Soil within the pot perches above a base water reservoir where the plant’s roots can stretch down out of the soil and into the water for nourishment

 

 

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Water is stored in an inner chamber in the pot and is fed to the roots by the capillary action of potting mix (Mixture of soil and manure). Water is separated from the soil by an aerated screen which also helps to oxygenate the roots. Water can be filled through a funnel attached to the pot and water level indicated by a float system.

Benefits Of Self Watering Planter

Saves Time

When you take a vacation or work long hours, it can take its toll on your container plant; you need to constantly monitor the soil’s moisture content for the best growing results. As a solution, self-watering planters give you more time for other activities without harming the plant. In fact, the plant can go several days or weeks depends upon the water needs of the plant, without any watering action from you, even during the hot summer months. The semi-contained water cycle will continue as long as there is ample water; it would take a long time to slowly evaporate what moisture there is in the soil to damage the plant.

Encourage healthy root growth

Savvy gardeners know that shallow watering can lead to shallow root growth; many desired crops, such as tomatoes, will have poor fruit growth with improper root supports. The self-watering planters allow you to deep water the container without any issues of root rot. Water flows to the bottom reservoir which stimulates roots to grow deep to find the moisture supply. Sturdy root systems will produce larger stems and branches above for even more foliage, flowers and fruit, depending on the plant type.

Prevent mosquito breeding

Conventional pots placed indoors require additional drain tray to collect excess water. This can cause mosquito breeding. There is no such issues with Self watering planters as the water chamber is beneath the soil and will not allow mosquito breeding.

Retains nutrients

As you water a typical container garden, the soil nutrients slowly diffuse out of the medium with the water molecules. You will need to add organic matter periodically to keep the soil’s nutrient levels steady. Self-watering containers require you to water the soil normally, but the closed system allows the nutrients to stay within the immediate environment. Nutrients are not expelled into a garden bed or out of container drain holes. As a result, you will find that your plant will flourish with the healthy nutrient levels.

Saves Water

Conserving water, especially in dry climates, is a constant concern for gardeners. Self-watering planters only evaporate some of the water from the soil, mainly after a direct watering from above. The trapped water in the reservoir cannot evaporate with the dense soil covering it. Watering amounts are considerably lower with self-watering planters while still retaining a healthy environment for growing.
