How does the self‑watering system keep plants healthy?

The planter includes an integrated water reservoir and a visible gauge that shows when the reservoir needs topping up. This setup reduces daily watering chores, prevents overwatering and helps roots stay aerated.

• Built‑in water reservoir stores moisture below the soil layer
• Visible gauge indicates low or adequate water level
• Reservoir minimizes surface evaporation and watering frequency
• Reduces risk of root rot by separating excess water via the drain plug

• Tool‑light assembly with step‑by‑step guide
• UV‑protected resin resists fading and requires no sealing
• Drainage plug allows flushing or emptying the reservoir
• Simple cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap as needed
