Flower pot with tray stefanplast Ethica Ø40 x 39 cm, plastic self-watering, 31 L, recycled gray

stefanplast Ethica flower pot with tray is a plastic planter designed with a built-in self-watering system and a 31 L capacity. The planter measures Ø40 x 39 cm and is manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The included tray helps retain excess water while the self-watering reservoir supports more consistent moisture for potted plants, herbs, balcony plantings and patio containers. Colour may vary from the picture.

Advantages

The main advantages of the Ethica Ø40 x 39 cm planter are its integrated self-watering system that reduces the frequency of watering, the substantial 31 L volume that accommodates medium to large plants or multiple smaller plants, and the durable plastic made from recycled materials which is suitable for repeated seasonal use. The tray facilitates cleaner placement on surfaces and helps manage runoff.

Suitable for

• Potted ornamental plants on balconies, terraces or indoors
• Growing culinary herbs and small vegetable varieties
• Container arrangements combining several plants or cascading species
• Temporary outdoor placement on patios, verandas or garden shelves

When it may not be suitable

This plastic planter may not be appropriate for very large root systems or mature trees that require deeper and wider planting space. It is also not ideal for plants that demand constantly saturated soil, since the self-watering system is designed to provide controlled moisture rather than continuous flooding.

How to use

Place the Ethica pot on a stable level surface and ensure the tray is correctly positioned beneath the pot. Add a suitable substrate and position the plant(s) leaving room for root growth. Fill the reservoir following the manufacturer’s self-watering instructions so the roots can access water from below; regularly check the water level and refill as needed. For outdoor use, ensure the planter is secured against wind and moved to sheltered location during extreme weather if necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Check plant root size and growth habit to confirm the 31 L volume and dimensions are sufficient
• Consider the planter colour and note that actual colour may vary from images
• Decide whether you need indoor-rated or frost-resistant placement depending on local climate

Usage recommendations

Use a well-draining potting mix tailored to the plant species and monitor reservoir levels regularly. For longer periods away, top up the self-watering reservoir fully and place the planter in a suitable light and temperature condition for the chosen plants.
