Your plant will tell you when it's thirsty.
Fill the reservoir and let your plant drink at its own pace. When it runs low, Thirsty Pot shines a red light onto your floor.
Pick your shape. The system is the same.

What our buyers say
I was impressed by the quality of these, the plastic feels propperly thick and solid, almost like fibreglass or something, and the legs are heavy. Well made, and works as advertised.
I own a little cafe in Frenches Forrest. These look amazing in our Patio space / Garden! A few guests have purchased the planters after I explained to them how great they are!
Awesome pots, great design, communication and delivery perfect. Will be ordering some more. May be you could do a package with plants as well! Will make awesome presents!
Everything except the batteries.
Outer planter, inner pot, stand or legs, cotton wick, water level sensor and a quick start guide. Two AA batteries power the alert only, never the watering.

Two friends, a long walk, and a lot of dead plants.
We are Deryk and Aidan. We met on the Camino de Santiago in 2023 and found common ground in plants, tech and doing things a little differently.
Thirsty Pot came out of a problem we both had and neither of us had solved: we loved plants, and we kept killing them.
It reads the water level in the reservoir, not soil moisture. The alert means refill the reservoir, not pour water over the plant.
Two ways. One long red flash the moment it reaches capacity, or lift the inner pot out and pour to the marked fill line inside. You can top up early too, so fill it right before you travel.
Depending on the plant, its size and your home, the reservoir can keep water available for several weeks. Thirstier, faster growing plants need refilling sooner.
Watering is passive, so the wick keeps working without power. You just lose the red alert until you swap the two AA batteries.
Plants that like consistent moisture: peace lily, fittonia, calathea, many ferns. Use caution with succulents, cacti, snake and ZZ plants, which prefer substantial drying.
