Planterproof

For the plants you love and sometimes forget.

Planterproof clips onto the rim of your outdoor planter and wicks water directly to plant roots. No repotting, no hose, no batteries.

  • Self-watering accessory
  • No new pot
  • No electronics

Go ahead, neglect your plants. They have backup.

Keep the planter you already bought.

The mount adjusts to the rim you already have, from round pots to railing boxes. Available in cream, terracotta and black.

Kit contents laid out on stone: tank, two stakes, two wicking ropes and the mount

What's in the kit

Nothing to plug in, charge or repot.

Water tank
Holds 3 liters. Lifts out for easy refills.
Lid
Designed to catch rain for a free refill.
Mount
Fits to your planter's rim.
Wicking ropes
Two wicks feed water direct to roots.
Stakes
Two stakes to secure the wicks.

Simple by design.

No tools, no adhesive, nothing permanent. The mount adjusts to grip the rim of your existing planter, and the stake goes straight into the soil, the same way you'd push in a garden stake. To remove, it comes out just as easily, and your planter is exactly as it was before.

  1. Hands clipping the mount onto the rim of a planter

    Attach it

    Clips onto the planter you already have — no tools, no new pot, no more than a minute.

  2. Hands guiding the wick and stake into the soil

    Wick it

    A stake carries the wick directly to your plant's roots, watering at the place and pace it needs.

    Fill it

    Refill about every week, depending on plants and weather. When the tank's empty, that's your cue.

How it compares

Every option that already exists asks for something in return. Self-watering planters ask you to repot into their container. Drip irrigation asks for tubing and a timer. A watering globe asks you to remember it exists before it runs dry. None of that is wrong — it's just more setup, more parts, or more limits than a planter on a porch usually needs.
