Each pot measures approximately 17 x 7 x 6 inches and holds about 1 liter of reserve water, making this set suitable for herbs, flowers, succulents, leafy greens, and decorative foliage both indoors and outdoors. Built from thickened PP plastic, the boxes resist weathering and can withstand extended sun exposure and regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the self-watering system work and why does it help?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oliz boxes use an internal reservoir connected to the planting chamber by an absorbent cotton rope that wicks moisture into the soil as it dries.
