Water *Once a Week* for Thriving Baby Plants
Self-watering means vegetables, flowers, herbs, houseplants, and cuttings all start easily and successfully. You just fill the reservoir once a week.
Naturally porous terracotta wicks water to nurture your seedlings with just the moisture they need.
No more over-watering! No more under-watering!
