Flower pot with tray Stefanplast Ethica Ø25 cm mustard yellow, plastic, self-watering, 9.5 L

Stefanplast Ethica Ø25 cm mustard yellow flower pot with tray is a plastic outdoor planter designed for reduced maintenance. The pot has an internal self-watering system that stores water and feeds the substrate by capillarity, reducing the need for frequent watering. Made from 100% recycled and fully recyclable materials, this pot has a capacity of 9.5 L and an external diameter of 25 cm, making it suitable for balconies, terraces and garden edges where space is limited.

Advantages

The self-watering system prolongs periods between manual watering, while the integrated tray collects excess water and prevents spills. Construction from recycled plastic provides resistance to weather exposure and UV rays typical for outdoor use, and the recyclable material supports a circular approach to consumer gardening products. Its compact shape and 25 cm diameter allow for easy placement on railings, small tables or crowded planting areas.

Suitable for

• Seasonal flowering plants and annuals on balconies and terraces
• Herb cultivation in limited spaces such as window sills and small patios
• Urban container gardening where reduced watering frequency is desirable
• Complementing larger planting arrangements as a compact accent pot

When it may not be suitable

This 25 cm diameter pot and its 9.5 L volume are not intended for large shrubs, trees or deep-rooted perennials that require substantially more root space. For plants that need exceptionally free drainage or a dry substrate most of the time, the self-watering function may retain too much moisture unless carefully managed.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic (100% recycled and recyclable)
• Diameter: 25 cm
• Height: 25 cm
• Volume: 9.5 L
• Integrated self-watering system with water reservoir
• Includes matching tray for excess water collection
• Intended use: outdoor

How to use

Place the Ethica pot on a flat, stable surface such as a balcony ledge, terrace floor or garden table. Fill the pot with a suitable potting mix and position the plant at the correct depth. Pour water into the reservoir according to the plant’s needs so the capillary system can maintain moisture; monitor the water level and refill when necessary. Use the tray to catch overflow and periodically check drainage and root development. Clean the tray and reservoir occasionally to avoid blockages or algae build-up.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 25 cm diameter and 9.5 L capacity meet the space and root volume requirements of your plants
• Consider the colour (mustard yellow) and how it fits with your outdoor decor
• Assess exposure to sun and wind, which affects watering frequency even with a self-watering system
• Check placement stability if used on narrow railings or elevated surfaces

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and choose plants suited to container culture. Adjust reservoir refill intervals seasonally: less frequent in cooler months, more frequent during hot, sunny periods. Periodic inspection of roots and water reservoir will help maintain healthy growth and prevent overwatering.
