Flower pot with tray Stefanplast Ethica Ø30 x 29 cm, plastic, self-watering, 11.8 L, mustard yellow

Stefanplast Ethica flower pot with tray is a durable plastic outdoor planter with a built-in self-watering system and an 11.8 L capacity. The pot measures Ø30 x 29 cm, making it suitable for medium-sized balcony, patio or garden plants. Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, this model combines functional design with reduced environmental impact. An integrated tray collects excess water and supports longer irrigation intervals while helping protect surfaces from drips.

Advantages

The Ethica pot offers a self-watering solution that reduces the frequency of manual watering and helps maintain consistent moisture for potted plants. Its plastic construction is lightweight yet resistant to outdoor conditions, and the use of recycled materials lowers resource consumption. The integrated tray simplifies drainage management and keeps the area around the pot cleaner.

Suitable for

• Balcony and terrace flower displays
• Patio planters for herbs and decorative plants
• Garden edging and container arrangements
• Indoor use in bright rooms where a tray is needed to protect surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This pot is designed for medium-sized plants; very large shrubs or small trees that require deeper rooting space or larger volumes of soil will outgrow the 11.8 L capacity. It is a plastic planter and while suitable for outdoor use, it may not provide the same thermal insulation as thicker ceramic or stone pots in extreme climates.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials
• Shape and dimensions: round pot, external diameter 30 cm, height 29 cm
• Volume: 11.8 litres soil capacity
• Feature: integrated self-watering system with attached tray for excess water
• Recommended use: outdoor and sheltered indoor locations

How to use

Place the pot on a stable, level surface and ensure the tray is correctly positioned to collect excess water. Add a layer of drainage material (such as coarse gravel or pot shards) if desired, then fill with a suitable potting mix for the chosen plants. Plant specimens at recommended depths and water through the top; the self-watering system and tray will help regulate moisture. Monitor soil moisture periodically and top up water in the reservoir as needed depending on plant type and weather conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify plant root depth and volume requirements against the 11.8 L capacity
• Consider exposure to sun and frost; plastic can heat in direct sun and may become brittle in extreme cold over time
• Check the pot’s dimensions to ensure fit on balcony railings, shelves or designated spaces
• Colour may vary from images; confirm that the mustard yellow finish suits your décor

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a quality potting mix appropriate for the plants you choose and maintain regular checks of the reservoir level during hot or dry periods. Avoid prolonged waterlogging by ensuring the tray is emptied if necessary and protect the pot from severe frost by moving it to a sheltered location or insulating it during winter.
