Do you often forget to water your plant? Does watering your
plant sometimes annoy you? Then patch planter is the solution for you. Patch
planters are primarily a self-watering innovation for indoors but they can also
be used outdoors.
Patch Planters are made of highly durable material called
DuPont Tvek which is usually used for construction such as house wraps.
USE OF PATCH PLANTERS IN INDOORS
Even though Patch Planter looks like paper boxes but they
are not. They are fully waterproof. This planter encourages low maintenance
growing style, the most work you will have to do is just top the reservoir when
you see it needs filling.
Its rectangular size gives you a big growing space. You can
put them in the sill or any other place you prefer. They are best for plant
which like to be consistently moist with a shallow root system.
USE OF PATCH PLANTERS IN OUTDOORS
As you know patch planters are made of heavy duty
construction plastic so, they are able to endure the outdoor environment. But
if they are exposed to harsh element they will only last for a few seasons.
These planters are waterproof and they don’t exclude their
shape. But as the planters are white they may get some staining, and some stains
may be non-removal.
if you want them to last longer, keep them in a sheltered
location. But if your outdoor space is filled with harsh elements than it is
recommended to keep them in indoors.
Now if you are thinking where the extra water goes after a
rainfall than you would be fascinated to know that these planters are designed
with drainage holes at the sides to prevent overflow.
CONCERN WITH CONSTANTLY DAMP SOIL
With constantly moist soil getting fungus gnats is a
possibility and if you have them all ready then there is more reason to be
concern. If you are concern with these problems then stop watering and allow
the reservoir to get empty and the top of the soil dry out.
Be sure to pair the appropriate pants while planting in the
Patch Planter, dodge plants that need drying out.
SELF-WATERING’ CAN BE OPTIONAL
On the other hand, self-watering is an optional process. If
you want you or think self-watering container is too moist, you can keep your
reservoirs empty and give water to your plants as you used to.
