Why You'll Love These Self Watering Pots
- See-Through Double Layer: The translucent inner cup lets you watch root development at a glance, while the outer cup shows exactly how much water remains — no guesswork, no disassembling.
- Cotton Wick Watering System: A fine cotton wick draws water evenly from the bottom reservoir up to the roots, delivering steady moisture to sensitive cuttings and seedlings without waterlogging or root rot.
- Side-Fill Convenience: Top up the reservoir from the side without moving or disturbing your plants. The large-capacity outer cup means less frequent refilling.
- Multiple Ventilation & Drainage Holes: The inner cup bottom features multiple holes to keep roots breathing freely and flush away any excess water.
- Versatile Plant Compatibility: Ideal for soft-stem seedlings, small bulb cuttings, African violets, flytraps, and other mini indoor plants. Works with both soil and semi-hydroponic substrates.
- Reusable & Durable Plastic: Lightweight, easy-to-clean plastic construction stands up to everyday indoor use — great for windowsills, desks, and shelving.

How to Use the Cotton Wick
Thread the absorbent cotton wick up through the hole at the bottom of the inner cup, leaving one end submerged in the water reservoir of the outer cup. Tip: knead and slightly twist the wick end before threading to make insertion easier. Once in place, the wick will passively draw water upward to the plant roots for hands-free, consistent hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the self watering system work in these nursery pots?
A: Each pot uses a cotton wick that runs from the bottom reservoir (outer cup) up into the soil or substrate in the inner cup. The wick draws water upward through capillary action, delivering steady moisture directly to the root zone. The translucent outer cup lets you monitor the water level so you know exactly when to refill.
Q: What types of plants are these self watering pots suitable for?
A: These pots are designed for small indoor plants and propagation projects — including soft-stem seedlings, small bulb cuttings, African violets, flytraps, and other compact houseplants. They work with both regular potting soil and semi-hydroponic growing media.
Q: Can I use these pots for semi-hydroponic growing?
A: Yes! The double-layer design and cotton wick system are perfectly suited to semi-hydroponic substrates such as LECA or perlite, as well as traditional soil. The ventilation holes at the base of the inner cup ensure healthy airflow around the roots regardless of growing medium.
Q: How many pots are included and what sizes are available?
A: You receive 12 pots per set. Depending on the variant you select, these may be Large (inner cup ~64×66×52 mm, 250 ml reservoir) or Small (inner cup ~47×50×40 mm, 120 ml reservoir), giving you flexibility for different plant sizes.
