The Futuristic Pots That Can Fully Contain the Expansive Nature of Plants

Needles to say, plants are an important part of every environment since they are irreplaceable life givers and air cleaners. Considering that today we have the technology to grow plants in space, at zero gravity and with limited resources, it would be such a shame not to do the same, down here on Earth.

Growing plants in a concrete urban environment, though it has its own challenges, is much more simple than growing them in space and the technology to do that is cheap and available to everyone. I am, of course, talking about self-watering planters, or more specifically, self-watering commercial planters pots.

While it is very likely that you have a patch of dirt at your home, however small or big, but very often this is not the case with commercial or public spaces. This is where self-watering commercial planters pots come in. They are the perfect solution when it comes to beautifying and bringing a little life in your urban environment with some greenery without all the hustle that comes with conventional gardening. Self-watering plants have a very simple design. They have a built-in water reservoir at the bottom of the planter to ensure that your plants get just the right amount of water they need. They can be watered either manually or with an automatic irrigation system. Also, you can arrange them either as stand-alone units or group them to form continuous boundaries or span across large distances.

There are many benefits that come with self-watering planters. Here are some of the most important ones.

• With conventional containers, as you keep watering the plants you wash away many of the soil nutrients through the drain holes at the bottom of the container and you will need to constantly add organic matter to keep a steady nutrient level of the soil. The closed system of self-watering planters however, creates a water cycle that allows all the nutrients to stay within the the immediate environment and as a result your plants will thrive.
• Self-watering planters are perfect way to conserve water, especially in dry climates where water is scarce. With the dense soil covering the reservoir at the bottom of the planter, only a small portion of the water evaporates and this significantly reduces the amount of water needed to retain a healthy environment for the plant.
• Regardless of your busy life, self-watering planters will ensure your plants thrive even when they go several without any watering action. The closed water cycling system will save you time since you don’t have to constantly monitor the soil’s moisture and frequently water the plant. It will take a long time for all the water to slowly evaporate to the point that it damages the plant and with the automatic irrigation system you can completely forget about watering your plants.

Another benefit of self-watering planters is that they encourage healthy root growth. They enable consistent watering at every depth in the planter without any dangers of water stagnation or roots rotting.

Overall, self-watering commercial planter pots will allow you to enjoy the benefits of a rich plant life in your urban environment with minimal effort and resources.
