Aquaflora Self-watering Planter
A two piece 3D printed planter that waters your plant through a hidden wick reservoir.
Most self-watering planters look like lab equipment. Aquaflora looks like a smooth river pebble that happens to grow things. The rounded, slightly bulbous shell hides a genuinely clever trick underneath: lift out the inner liner and you will find a slim gap between it and the outer wall, built to hold a reservoir of water.
Here is how it works. Thread a length of cotton string or rope down through the liner before you add your potting mix, with the other end sitting in the water filled gap below. The wick draws moisture up into the soil as it dries out, so your plant sips steadily instead of getting flooded once a week and forgotten for the next three.
The two piece design makes refilling simple: lift the liner out, top up the reservoir through the little notch cut into the collar, and drop the liner back in. That notch also lets you check the water level at a glance, no guessing, no soggy saucer underneath.
Printed in PETG Basic with a fine, grainy textured finish that reads like stone rather than plastic, Aquaflora is sized for windowsills, desks and shelves at 92 x 92 x 66mm. It is printed to order in Australia and ready in 1 to 2 days, a low maintenance gift for the plant lover who forgets to water, or the desk that only gets natural light on weekends.
