Your plants don’t need to die while you’re refreshing yourself on holiday! 

With LECHUZA self-irrigating planters you can be confident your beloved plants won’t die of thirst while you’re lapping up the sun, soaking up the local culture or sipping a few cocktails around the pool.    

The innovative self-watering system which is the hallmark of all LECHUZA planters ensures optimum water supply to any kind of cultivated plant, whether they’re outside or kept indoors. The water reservoir is hidden in the underside of each planter and can hold up to 26 litres, depending on the model, allowing plants to take up the exact amount of moisture and nutrients they need. This means you can leave them to fend for themselves for up to three months, leaving you more time to enjoy your holiday; you can literally decamp for the entire summer without anything dying of thirst. 

 All you have to do is keep an eye on the water level indicator ahead of leaving for your trip and make sure its reading ‘max’. That way you know your plant baby has everything they need to stay hydrated in your absence.
