Combi deal plant + self-watering pot
What is Wickplants? All our Wickplants plants have a wick inside the plant (a Wick). When the plant is thirsty, it raises the water itself by means of the wick. So your plants never get too much or too little water again!
What is Wickplants?
Wickplants is a unique concept, where you never have to water your plants again! How to! All our Wickplants feature a wick inside the plant (a Wick). All pots are equipped with a water reservoir, a frame and a water meter. This way you can hang your Wickplant with wick in the frame of the pot. This way the wick, which is inside the Wickplant, hangs in the water reservoir. This way, the Wickplant can fetch its water itself, by means of the wick, when it is thirsty. Using the water meter, you can see if the water reservoir is still full. So you never overwater your plants again and your houseplants will last longer! All you have to do is refill the water reservoir every now and then and choose a good spot for the plant. For the rest, the plant takes care of itself!

When should I refill my water tank?
All Wickplants combo deals include a water meter. This water meter hangs in the pots' water reservoir. When the water reservoir is filled, you will see that the red bar of the water meter is all the way up. Check the water meter's position once a week and your plants will stay beautiful longer. When the red bar of the water meter comes down slightly, this is a sign that the water reservoir is almost empty. This is the time to refill the water reservoir.
How do I refill my water tank?
But how do I refill my water tank once my Wickplant is fully installed? Very simple! Remove the decorative stones, which are on the frame, slightly to the side by the water meter. Remove the water meter from the frame. Now you can refill the water reservoir through the hole of the water meter. Then put the water meter back in the frame and distribute the decorative stones neatly over the frame. Is the red bar still not completely up? Then add more water to the water reservoir.
Caution! Make sure that the pot of the plant, which contains the wick, is not under water. Only the wick should hang in the water!
How often should I refill my water tank?
This depends on the Wickplant, its location and the time of year. Every houseplant needs more water in summer than in winter. So with Wickplants, you don't have to keep up with this. Only the water reservoir will empty a little faster in summer than in winter! In addition, a large houseplant drinks more than a houseplant around 50 cm high. So in that, the water meter reading is enough to keep up with. And the worry about how much water a plant needs is no longer applicable. The plant takes care of itself and gets exactly the amount of water it needs.
