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, somewhere between the blisters and the bocadillos, 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.
From a walking track to your living room
A conversation on the Camino
Two strangers walking across Spain, comparing notes on the houseplants waiting to be neglected back home.
Wicks, tanks and bad prototypes
We tried pumps, apps and soil probes. Every one of them added something to go wrong. The cotton wick won.
The light on the floor
The breakthrough was not the watering. It was telling people when to refill without another notification on their phone.
Three shapes, 10,000 homes
The Egg, the Hexagon and the Classic. Same system inside, shipping from Australia to homes everywhere.
Built on friendship. Driven by purpose.
Our range helps plants thrive with less effort and more personality. It is plant care with brains, beauty and a bit of banter.
We care deeply about thoughtful design, real quality, and making something that genuinely improves your day to day. That means saying no to features that only exist to look clever, and being honest when a plant is a poor fit for a reservoir.
This is just the beginning. We are very glad you are here.
What people tell us
Read all reviewsI went from a serial plant killer to a thriving plant parent. The light does all the remembering for me.
The wooden legs make it look like a piece of furniture rather than a plant pot. Guests always ask.
Away for three weeks and came home to a plant in better shape than when I left. That is the whole point.
