Watering & Self-Watering Pottery

Simple watering guidance plus tips for self-watering pottery and bases.

Learn when to water, how self-watering bases work, and how to avoid keeping roots too wet.

Check the plant, potting mix, container size, light, and season instead of watering only by the calendar.

Learn how to use the reservoir or base correctly and allow the plant to draw water as needed.

Potting mix, root placement, and plant type all affect how a self-watering system performs.
