Plants that water themselves.

3D printed planters with a built-in water tank. Fill it, and the soil draws up water as the plant needs it, so you water less often.

A tank underneath, a cone of soil to carry the water up.

No rope, no electronics, no batteries. Everything is printed.

Fill the tankPour water into the fill tube until it drains out of the overflow hole.
Soil soaks it upThe soil cone hangs into the water and pulls it up as the soil dries.
Check back laterRefill when the tank runs low. How long that takes depends on the plant and the room.

Each piece is printed to order in PETG. Starting with the 4-inch size.

Order pot

Small batches, real layers.

A tough plastic that handles water well.

No parts to assemble beyond dropping the insert in.

Best with plants that like steady moisture, like pothos, herbs, and peace lilies.

How often do I refill it?

It depends on the plant, the size of the plant, and how warm the room is. Check the tank every few days at first, and you'll learn your plant's pace.

Which plants work best?

Plants that like steady moisture. Succulents and cacti prefer to dry out, so they're not a good match.

What soil should I use?

Regular potting mix. Sand and rocks don't carry water well.

Can I clean it?

Yes. Rinse the pot and insert with warm water and mild soap. Don't put them in a dishwasher, since heat can warp PETG.
