Balcony flower pot set with automatic watering and metal support, stefanplast 50x18x17cm, 9.5 L, gray

The stefanplast balcony flower pot set with automatic watering and metal support is a 50 x 18 x 17 cm planter designed for balcony rail mounting or free placement. The planter has a 9.5 L capacity and an integrated internal water tank that regulates irrigation, reducing the need for frequent watering. Made from Second Life certified recycled plastic with a fabric-effect finish and supplied with a sturdy metal support, this gray planter is fully recyclable and intended for growing flowers, herbs and ornamental plants with lower maintenance requirements.

Advantages

The integrated automatic watering system stores water in an internal tank and delivers moisture to the root zone gradually, helping to maintain more consistent soil moisture and reduce watering frequency. The included metal support provides stable mounting on balcony rails or can be used to position the planter on flat surfaces. Construction from Second Life certified recycled plastic reduces the use of virgin materials and the planter is 100% recyclable. The fabric-effect finish offers a neutral aesthetic that fits a wide range of balcony and outdoor décors.

Suitable for

• Growing ornamental flowering plants on balconies and terraces.
• Small herb gardens for kitchen use (parsley, basil, thyme).
• Urban gardening where reduced watering maintenance is desired.
• Mounting on standard balcony rails or placing on ledges and shelves.

When it may not be suitable

The planter’s 9.5 L volume and 50 cm length limit the root space available, so it may not be suitable for large shrubs, trees or plants with very deep root systems. It is also not intended for continuous immersion or use in fully submerged aquatic systems. Very exposed, high-wind locations may require additional fastening to prevent movement of the metal support.

Key specifications

• External dimensions: 50 x 18 x 17 cm
• Volume capacity: 9.5 liters
• Material: Second Life certified recycled plastic (100% recyclable)
• Finish: fabric-effect texture
• Included accessory: metal support for balcony mounting
• Integrated feature: internal water tank for regulated irrigation

How to use

Place the metal support on the balcony rail or position the assembled planter on a stable surface. Fill the planting compartment with appropriate potting mix and plant selected flowers, herbs or ornamental plants. Fill the internal water tank according to the manufacturer’s marking and monitor water level periodically; the system will supply water to the substrate by capillary action or through the regulator, depending on design. Refill the reservoir when levels are low and check drainage to avoid waterlogging. For winter storage, empty the tank and store indoors to protect from frost.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm balcony rail dimensions and compatibility with the included metal support.
• Consider the 9.5 L volume when selecting plant species to ensure adequate root space.
• Check exposure and wind conditions on the balcony; additional fastening may be needed in exposed sites.
• Colour shown may vary from the actual product.

Usage recommendations

Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and choose plants suited to the available light. Regularly monitor the internal water tank and top up when needed rather than relying on a single fill for extended periods. Secure the metal support firmly on the rail and, for heavier plantings, consider additional ties or brackets to improve stability.
