Thirsty Layers

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.

Shop plantersSee how it works

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

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

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