- How does the self-watering system work?
- A reservoir under the soil holds water and feeds it upward through a wick or wicking column. You refill the reservoir instead of watering from the top every few days.
- Is it good for herbs?
- Yes. Basil, parsley and mint do well in it because they like evenly moist soil. Refill the reservoir before it runs dry.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It works on a patio or porch, but the plastic can fade in strong sun over seasons. Bring it in during freezing weather.
- Does it have drainage?
- It relies on the reservoir rather than a free-draining hole. Don't overfill the reservoir, or roots can sit in water.
- What size plant fits?
- It suits plants in roughly 6-inch nursery pots. Larger or fast-growing plants will need a bigger container.
- Where is the Bloem Ariana Self Watering Resin Planter Stone cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $5.98, as of our latest check.
