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

stefanplast Ethica flower pot with tray is a durable plastic outdoor planter with an integrated self-watering system and a capacity of 31 liters. The pot measures Ø40 x 39 cm and is made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials in a recycled green finish. Designed for balconies, terraces and gardens, this planter provides adequate soil volume for medium-sized plants while helping to maintain moisture and reduce watering frequency.

Advantages

The Ethica flower pot combines an integrated water reserve and overflow control to support healthy root hydration without constant attention. Its construction from entirely recycled plastic offers environmental benefits and allows outdoor use in varied weather conditions. The included tray collects excess water and protects surfaces from staining while enabling simple water management via the self-watering function.

Suitable for

• Balcony and terrace container gardening
• Medium ornamental shrubs, herbs and flowering plants
• Urban gardening where reduced watering is desired
• Temporary outdoor displays and seasonal plantings

When it may not be suitable

This planter may not be suitable for very large plants or deep-rooted trees that require greater soil volume than 31 liters. It is also not intended for permanent indoor installation where aesthetics or different materials are preferred; although functional indoors, drainage and tray use should be considered.

Key specifications

• Material: 100% recycled and recyclable plastic
• Diameter: 40 cm
• Height: 39 cm
• Capacity: 31 litres
• Colour: recycled green (shade may vary)

How to use

Place the pot on a stable, level surface and ensure the tray is positioned correctly beneath the pot. Add a suitable rooting substrate or potting mix, leaving space for the water reservoir as indicated by the manufacturer’s internal mark if present. Plant your chosen species and fill the reservoir according to the self-watering instructions: initially saturate the substrate from above, then maintain water level in the reservoir as needed. Monitor moisture and refill the reservoir periodically; empty the tray when excessive runoff occurs to prevent standing water under the container.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 31 L capacity and Ø40 x 39 cm dimensions match your plant size and available space
• Consider the recycled green colour and potential variation from product images
• Decide if a self-watering system fits your watering routine and plant types
• Check outdoor exposure and frost tolerance for the chosen plants when used outside

Usage recommendations

Use a well-draining potting mix and avoid overfilling the reservoir; inspect roots periodically and repot when plants approach the volume limit. For balcony or terrace use, position the pot where plants receive appropriate sunlight and protect from strong wind. Clean the tray and reservoir at season end to remove sediment and prepare the planter for new plantings.
