Same system, three shapes

Which pot fits your plant?

All three stand on the floor on their own base, and everything below the soil is identical: the same cotton wick, the same water level sensor, the same red light on your floor when it runs dry. Just choose between our three designs.

Measure your nursery pot. Compare it with the planter width below and you cannot go wrong.
When in doubt, size up. More root space means longer between refills, never a problem for the plant.
Wrong call? Send it back. 30 day returns and a 1 year warranty on every pot.

Small plants

Herbs, fittonia, peperomia, a pothos cutting finding its feet. The iron stand lifts it high off the floor, so a small plant still reads at eye level.

Large plants

A begonia, a fern, or an alocasia that has outgrown everything else. Widest planter and by far the most root room.

Identical in all three

The part that does the work never changes.

Size is the only real decision. Whichever shape you pick, the watering system, the sensor and the warranty are exactly the same.

Passive cotton wick

Your plant drinks at its own pace. No pump, no power, nothing to fail.

Red light on the floor

The sensor reads the reservoir, not the soil, and tells you the moment it needs a refill.

No app, no Wi-Fi

Two AA batteries run the alert for roughly 6 to 12 months. Batteries not included.

Same promise

Free shipping worldwide, 30 day returns, 1 year warranty.

Well made, works as advertised

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.

Perfect for my cafe

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!

The Classic - perfect for herbs

I bought The Classic to go outdoors, undercover on my patio. I’ve got Basil and Chives doing really well in it instead of drying out and being forgotten in the garden. It looks really good, complementing our new outdoor setting, and looking a part of the décor… and nice and handy so we can easily collect herbs when we are cooking. Will order another one and get some more herbs or leafy greens going. I’m amazed at what happens when I don’t let my plants dry out – thank you!

Good idea but very expensive for the size

It’s def a great idea but the actual size of the pot is disappointing, it’s very small & the actual area for the dirt & plant is even smaller. I bought it for a monstera but I think it’ll be pot bound in a week & also it’s not deep enough to have a stake to support the plant🤷‍♀️

Skeptic turned believer

We were so sick of trying to grow our own herbs. They seem to drink so much water and would wilt too quickly. We got a thirsty pot and have been so surprised at how long these herbs have been thriving! We’re two months on and our parsley and basil have never looked better.

​The Pot That Refuses to Stop

This pot is basically plant steroids. I bought this Thirsty Pot because I’m notoriously bad at keeping things alive. I filled the reservoir, went away for nearly a month, and fully expected to come home to a brown, crunchy stick. I was dead wrong. I walked back into my apartment and honestly didn't recognize my own plant. It didn’t just survive—it exploded. It’s easily twice the size it was when I left. If you’re a lazy plant parent or you travel a lot, just buy it. It works so well it's actually a little bit scary. Bottom line: Left for: 4 weeks. * Came back to: A literal mimi plant jungle. * Effort required: Zero.

All of my plants need it!

The only problem with thirsty pot is not all of my pots are thirsty pot! It’s really shocking how much I was starving my plants. I thought I was doing well, but thirsty pot is taking me to another level of growth and health.

Love the Egg

Thanks, Thirsty Pot Crew. I love my Egg! It has pride of place in my lounge. I've got a stunning Dieffenbachia in it, and (while I had to look up the plant's name) I am really pleased with the aesthetic – it looks great at my place. I love that it tells me when it's time to water… before it’s too late! It’s replaced a sad old plant with a weird saucer underneath!

Very Cute and Functional

I absolutley LOVE the 'egg' aesthetic, I just had to buy it for the look. Working great so far and the quality feels suprisingly good. I was worried when it arrived because the packaging was a bit damaged, but everything was fine inside.

Full FAQ
Can I move a plant between pots later?

Yes. The inner pot lifts straight out, so repotting into a larger Thirsty Pot takes a minute. The wick threads the same way in all three.

Is the bigger one harder to look after?

The opposite. A larger reservoir means longer between refills, and the red light behaves identically whatever the size.

Do the three look right together?

They share a palette and a corner profile, so a group reads as a set. The Egg stands highest, which helps when you cluster all three on the floor.

What if I pick wrong?

Send it back within 30 days, wherever you are in the world. Every pot also carries a 1 year warranty.
