About the pots:

A lightweight planter that helps to take care of your plants - for home, office or anywhere. Clean, modern, and colourific plant pots. And large, for the bigger plants in your life. The pioneering Australian design in self-watering planters. Simply water from above the first few days, then top up via the water well at the bottom. 

About the designer:

Richard Carlson has been awarded hundreds of Australian design awards, and his Décor classic BYO Wine Bottle Carrier is a permanent exhibit in the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Richard has been inducted into the Design institute of Australia’s Hall of Fame.

Sizes:

• 375mm pot (375mm w x 300mm h - 220mm planting depth)
• 300mm pot (300mm w x 255mm h - 180mm planting depth)
• 250mm pot (250mm w x 210mm h - 150mm planting depth)
• 170mm pot (170mm w x 145mm h - 100mm planting depth)

How to use:

• Simply plant your plant in as you would into any pot using good quality potting mix. 
• Water from above the first time to help the potting mix settle in. Excess water gathers in the waterwell at the bottom. 
• The plant begins to wick up the water it needs from the waterwell via the potting mix. 
• Once the waterwell at the bottom dries out it's time to begin topping up the water via the waterwell at the bottom. 
• Topping up via the waterwell helps the plant get a good airing out between watering. 
• Don't be afraid to let the waterwell remain dry for a while as well - especially in cold and wet and dark areas when plants don't need as much water and the potting mix remains wetter longer.
• In hot and dry and sunny areas you may find the waterwell needing topping up more often as the plant is more thirsty. 
• Not only is it convenient and looks great, the pot is great way to see how much water is being used and to get to know your plants and their needs!
