Do I need to monitor the water level?

A quick monthly check is enough. Lift the plant slightly or feel the soil to check. Or just shake the planter to feel the water level. 💡 Quick Tip: A quick calendar reminder for your monthly Posie Pot top-up is all it takes for lush, happy plants.

What happens if I forget to water?

Many plants can go 5–6 weeks, especially in cooler spots. Still, we recommend monthly refills for best results.

Will it cause root rot?

Not at all – in fact, Posie Pots are specifically engineered to prevent root rot. Unlike traditional pots where overwatering can lead to stagnant, oxygen-deprived soil, our patented self-watering system operates on the principle of passive capillary action. The soil precisely draws only the moisture it needs from the integrated reservoir. Ensures there's no excess water pooling around the root zone, allowing for continuous optimal aeration. Your plant's roots receive just the right amount of hydration, remaining healthy and never becoming soggy. You can be confident in our system to support robust root growth.

What if I accidentally add too much water?

No problem. We have a drainhole at the back of the pot.

Will refilling the pot disturb my plant?

Not at all. Pour water gently near the edge or use a bottle with a spout. No need to remove the plant.

What’s the best way to clean it?

Wipe with a damp cloth or rinse gently. You can flush the reservoir every few months if needed.
