Three Benefits of Investing in Urban Self-watering Planters

I am a firm believer that people who don’t have plants on their balconies, in their homes or gardens are not people who don’t actually like plants. I know from personal experience that these are still people that glance with envy when they see how others have adorned their spaces with beautiful plants. But I also know that these are people who are aware that taking care of plants requires adding yet another routine in an already tight schedule and for so many of us, that is not possible.

Luckily, manufacturers have noticed our struggles and came up with a solution that can be highly beneficial not only for people with black thumbs and tight schedules, but for anyone who wants to take care of plants more efficiently. The solution comes in the form of modern garden planters with a self-watering mechanism.

The first benefit of these planters is the fact that you don’t have to water them on a daily basis. These modern garden planters feature an integrated system with a reservoir from which the plants can take water when they need to as much as they need. All you need to do is add water every 7-10 days and check the water level indicator from time to time.

Next, you may think that this type of mechanism is beneficial to you and your busy lifestyle alone, but it also benefits the plants themselves. Traditional planters have holes for drainage from where the excess of water passes, but so do so many soil nutrients along with it. The modern mechanism, on the other hand, makes sure that the nutrients remain right where they should – in the soil. This way, anyone can be able to grow healthy plants, even those who begin this whole process somewhat clueless.

Lastly, it is good to know that the watering process is not the only aspect the manufacturers of these self-watering planters focused on improving. They are also made to be sturdy, safe and environmentally-friendly. They are made of injection-moulded HDPE, which is UV and corrosion resistant, BPA-free and recyclable. And there is yet another problem that has been solved with the design of these planters – spills (which are a great nuisance especially for planters used indoors). Well, the urban planters feature a clip-on drip tray which prevents messy spillages.

Along with the sturdiness and functionality, the design is also appealing, sleek and seamless, which makes these planters perfect for matching any type of surroundings.
