 What does Potwell do?

 

• Transforms patio pots into self-watering containers
• Promotes healthier plant growth
• Prevents root damage from drying out
• Convenient; less frequent watering required
• Holidays and weekends away become possible!
• Reduces water wastage
• Fits in any container

 

 

Potwell is a reservoir, which is planted in the bottom of a container, and feeds moisture to the plant’s roots by capillary action.

Patio pots can dry out quickly in hot weather, the potting compost tends to crack and break fine root structures. This regular shock to the plant can be avoided by using Potwell to keep the growing medium moist, so plants grow constantly and are more healthy.

The reservoir stores up to 2.6 litres of water for the large size, so longer periods between watering are possible. Weekends away or holidays can be contemplated, without asking too much from friends and neighbours.

There is a strong environmental benefit, as less water is required to keep the compost moist. Dry, cracked compost lets the water and liquid feeds run through to waste before it soaks up sufficient moisture.

Potwell is made from high-specification, robust materials, so it can be used over and over again.

Potwell combines self-watering with attractive containers. Almost any container can be used, provided there is drainage in the base.

 

 


Potwell comes in three sizes, suitable for a range of containers from hanging baskets to large pots. Prices are £3.99 (small), £4.99 (medium), £5.99 (large), available by mail order.
