Best self-watering plant pots to keep your plants hydrated

Lechuza is a well-known brand in the industry, and these pots are suitable for indoor or outdoor use. There's a visual indicator to let you know when the reservoir is full and a drainage system for outdoor use. They're available in a range of sizes, are lightweight, and look great. 

Customer review: "Since I have repotted, my already massive Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese Plant) has almost doubled in size in three months, and now it is a giant. The constant and regulated watering is doing wonders for my plant, and I have also got a Lechuza Premium Quadro for a Fiddle Leaf Fig since then. I can very strongly recommend this to use with any plants that need regulated watering."

This BALCONERA Color 80 Self Watering Planter from Lechuza is modern and robust. Similar to the previous product, it has a visual indicator and drainage system for outdoor use. The brackets to hang these are sold separately, so don't forget to grab a pair. 

Customer review: "I have quite a lot of plants, so cutting down on watering time is great. This does the job - it takes a lot of water (like a whole watering can), and then you don't have to water for over a month. The water level indicator is great and makes it clear when it needs more. Assembly is easy - I think I found a video on YouTube. It can also be used outside, you need to remove a plug from it to allow drainage. I've only used it with these tradescantias, so other plants may not take so well, but these have been loving life!"

This Cole & Mason Burwell Self-Watering Potted Herb Saver planter is perfectly designed for herbs and comes with 12 hydro-felt pads which draw the water as required. The pads are washable and will need cleaning after around three months. Fill up the reservoir via the spout and ensure to check the level regularly as this one doesn't come with an indicator.

Customer review: "Great so far! My mint and basil pots are loving life at the moment. First time I haven't killed herb plants. So they are happy. Would recommend topping up the bowl at the bottom every few days."

If you need a temporary watering device for hanging baskets or indoor plants while you're away, these DIVCHI Self-Watering Globes do a great job. You simply fill them up, pop them in the pots and let them go to work. They are quite large, so won't be suitable for smaller pots. 

Customer review: "I bought this for a succulent I bought for my room. I'm not too experienced with looking after plants so this is ideal as it seems to water the plants when needed. You could really see that the bulbs work as there were a few very hot days last week and the water went down quite a lot, yet as soon as it cooled down the water level has barely moved, so it seems the plant does really absorb the water 'on demand'."

If you love your veggies, this Garden Grow Self Watering 4 Tier Tomato Tower Jumbo Fruit & Vegetable Vine Plant, Support Grower is a great option for effortless vegetable growing. There are four levels so you can increase the height of your tower as your plants grow. Simply fill the planter with soil and add water to the well and you're on your way. 

Customer review: "Found it's easy to assemble, saves floor space and no big tray on the floor. How well the tomatoes will grow has to be seen, but I am really pleased with this (and more so as they were cheaper than what I had seen elsewhere). I would imagine sweet peas would go well in this as well as long as it's not in a windy position."

Available in chic shades of white, beige, or grey, this Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit offers an ideal kickstart for cultivating your own harvest right from the comfort of your patio, balcony, or windowsill. Included are three pods featuring mini tomato, basil and green lettuce varieties so you can grow fresh produce without concerns about GMOs, harmful chemicals or remembering to water them.

Customer review: "Growing really well. Great product and design 👍."
