Self-watering Planters, it's Quid Pro Grow

Are self-watering planters a magic solution to not killing your potted plants? Well, they actually DO NOT water themselves. There is extensive thought that went into the process of creating one of these self-watering planters by Mayne. Let’s explore how these low-maintenance, self-watering, beautiful planters actually work. 

Self-watering Section

The first step to securing a great relationship with your self-watering planter is to actually water the new plant regularly for the first few weeks. This will ensure that the root system of the plant develops and grows downward into the troughs of the planter. This is where the magic begins. Once the root system has developed, a type of capillary action results from the roots being able to pull moisture from the built-in reservoir. Essentially, this is how self-watering works. The plant waters itself as long as there is the correct amount of water in the water reservoir. 
The Mayne self-watering planters are also built with an overflow hole to avoid the deadly over-saturation. Once everything is quid pro grow, you are all set for success with not killing your indoor plant. You can’t really lose with one of these planters. They are great gifts for literally anyone. Just remember, you have to water it for a couple of weeks to get the self-watering benefit.
