<b>SELF-WATERING, 2-WEEKS+ DEEP RESERVOIR:</b> No more troublesome wicks that clog and stop working. Patented design integrates self-watering features into the body of the planter. Hollow legs reach down to the reservoir and help the soil draw moisture naturally while lifting your plant above the water, keeping its delicate root system from being constantly flooded, minimizing upkeep while eliminating common problems associated with other planters and with over-watering. <br><br> <b>SELF-AERATING, MINIMIZE ROOT ROT:</b> Stop poking holes in your soil. Integrated into the body of the planter are additional large open slats on the bottom that are designed to maintain air circulation through the soil, minimizing root rot and other problems commonly found with more enclosed self-watering planters. <br><br><b>MINDS YOUR FLOOR:</b> The bottom saucer is designed with risers to lift the entire planter away from your floor and to prevent circular water stains typical of other flat-bottomed planters. <br><br> <b>100% BPA-FREE UV STABILIZED PLASTIC & PIGMENTS:</b> Intended for indoor AND outdoor use, the planters are made from UV stabilized polypropylene plastic (#5 PP) and will not become brittle under the sun. The pigments used in this planter are UV resistant to maintain the beauty of the planter for many years. Not painted. Colors will not fade, will not peel, will not become streaked or patchy when left under the sun
