This planter is beautiful, feels very sturdy, however gives no explanation to how it is self watering. It basically is a bucket (pic 1) with a tray (pic 2) and it seems if you keep it saturated the water between the two will soak into the soil as it dries? I’m still not sure. I finally planted these and they are lovely and must have something behind the watering system because even though I water them like normal the soil in theses seems to stay wet longer and my flowers don’t seem to be hurting for water like other pots at the end of a day or two without watering.
