A planter with a water reservoir and a float indicator: you always see when it is time to top up, and your plant never goes thirsty.
Picture this: you leave for the weekend, and your sundew or Venus flytrap quietly drinks from its own supply. This planter waters itself: the lower chamber holds water, and the plant takes as much as it needs. It is made for water-loving plants, especially carnivorous ones that hate drying out, but it suits ordinary flowers just as well.
The most convenient part is the water level indicator. It is a slim float: while there is enough water it stands up, and when the water runs low you see it at once, with no peeking under the pot and no guessing. The float is printed with a single wall and no infill so that it floats easily.
No repotting is needed. The planter works either with your ready-made nursery pot or with the insert from the set, an inner pot 72 mm tall and about 91 mm wide.
The set has four parts: the planter body with a textured ribbed finish, the inner pot insert, a cap and the float indicator. It is printed in PLA with 0.2 mm layers: the body with three walls and 15% infill so the planter holds water, the float with one wall and no infill. This is the profile we recommend for water tightness.
You choose the color of the pot, the insert and the indicator separately, for example as in the photo, in a grey-blue stone shade.
