Rain SELF WATERING Pot Clear & White MINI - 7.5 cms x 8.5 cms - 100mls - 5+ $1.87 ea
New in the RAIN range are these self-watering pots available in three sizes, mini, small or medium. Minimal modern design on the outside, functional on the inside. This is for the mini.
Frosted clear inner pot with drainage and wick included (can be run as a submerged or wick set-up). White outer pot with water level window reduces algae in bright light conditions.
When you order one pot, you'll get a set of 3 separate pieces that fit together make up one self-watering kit. You get the inner pot, outer pot and wick.
The inner pot has a quick refill corner for easy refilling without having to remove the plant or even pick up the pot. The outer pot has a clear water reservoir window to easily monitor the water level without having to remove the inner pot.
A perfect size for propagation of alocasia corms, small / short wet sticks, and small leaf cuttings for indoor plants, baby plants, seedlings and succulents.

Wick or no wick?
These self-watering pots can work with the wick or submerged self-watering methods, just adjust your water level in the reservoir to suit, either below the pot with the wick in the reservoir, or higher up so the bottom of the substrate is partially submerged.
Best substrate options
Can be used with the majority of substrates that work for the plant, but do take the inner pot size into account. Check the properties of each substrate to help you decide.
My favourites: Bio Leaf mix for Moisture Lovers, Stratum and other brands of aqua soil in general, (the stratum and perlite mix from Rare Plantation is a great one), Fern Fibre, Lechuza Pon and Bio Pon (in Bio Pon I'd go for the fine size for better wicking in this pot size).
