Flower pot with tray Stefanplast Ethica Ø20 x 19 cm mustard yellow, plastic, self-watering, 7.5 L, recycled material

Stefanplast Ethica Ø20 x 19 cm mustard yellow flower pot with tray is a 7.5 L plastic planter designed for outdoor use. The pot integrates a self-watering system to support root hydration and reduce watering frequency. Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, this lightweight container is intended for balconies, terraces and gardens where moderate-sized plants, herbs or ornamental flowers are grown. Colour may vary from the picture.

Advantages

The self-watering system creates a water reservoir that helps maintain consistent moisture at the root level, reducing the risk of over- or under-watering. Constructed from fully recycled plastic, the pot offers a reduced environmental footprint and can be recycled again at end of life. Its compact dimensions and integrated tray make it easy to move, place on hard surfaces and protect those surfaces from excess drainage. The design balances durability for outdoor exposure with lightweight handling.

Suitable for

• Balcony and terrace container gardening
• Small shrubs, annuals and perennial flowers
• Herbs and kitchen plants
• Indoor use near windows where a tray is needed to protect surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This pot is sized for small to medium plants with a 7.5 L soil volume; it is not suitable for large trees or plants requiring deep root systems. The plastic construction, while durable for outdoor use, may degrade faster than heavier ceramic or stone options in extreme sun or cold without seasonal care.

Key specifications

• Material: 100% recycled and recyclable plastic
• Shape and size: circular, Ø 20 cm x height 19 cm
• Soil volume: 7.5 litres
• Includes: integrated tray and self-watering system
• Intended use: outdoor and protected indoor placement

How to use

Place the pot on a level surface and ensure the tray is properly seated. Fill the pot with potting mix appropriate for the plant type, leaving space at the top for watering. After planting, fill the self-watering reservoir according to the manufacturer’s instructions or until the indicator (if present) shows the reservoir is full. Water through the soil surface occasionally to flush salts and top up the reservoir as needed. In colder climates, consider moving the pot to a frost-protected location or draining the reservoir during freezing periods.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 7.5 L volume and Ø20 x 19 cm dimensions match the root space required by your plant.
• Consider exposure to direct sun and frost; plastic can heat or become brittle over time.
• Colour may vary from product images; check availability if a specific shade is required.
• Self-watering helps maintenance but does not replace routine fertilising and occasional deep watering.

Usage recommendations

Use a free-draining potting mix and avoid compacted soils. Place a small layer of coarse material or a drainage mat above the reservoir if recommended for your plant type. Regularly check the reservoir level and flush the soil periodically to prevent salt buildup; during winter, protect the pot from prolonged freezing by moving it indoors or emptying the reservoir.
