Self Watering Wine Glass Planter

Most houseplants suffer from inconsistent watering rather than genuine neglect: too much one week, nothing the next. This self watering flower pot from Velora takes the guesswork out of it. A reservoir beneath the soil holds water that the plant draws up as it needs, so growth stays steady through a busy week at work or a fortnight away on holiday.

The shape is the second reason to love it. Modelled on the stem and bowl of a wine glass, it lifts the planting up off the surface and gives a single plant real presence on a sideboard, windowsill, desk or patio table. Herbs, succulents, trailing ivy and small flowering plants all look elegant in it, and the raised bowl makes it easier to see and care for your plant.

Fill the reservoir, check the level every week or so, and top it up when it runs low. Avoid overfilling in winter, when most plants need less water. It makes a thoughtful gift for new homeowners and anyone who loves plants but struggles to keep them alive. Some plants and potting mixes can be harmful if eaten, so keep it out of reach of young children and pets. Plants are sold separately, so you can choose your own favourite.
