Stefanplast Ethica flower pot with tray is a durable plastic planter with a built-in self-watering system and a 31 L capacity. The pot measures Ø40 x 39 cm and is suitable for medium to large houseplants or patio plants. Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, this brown variant is designed for both indoor and outdoor use; colour may vary from the picture.
Advantages
The self-watering system reduces the frequency of manual watering and helps maintain consistent soil moisture, supporting healthier root development. Being made from recycled and recyclable plastic makes the pot a more sustainable choice compared with conventional non-recycled planters. Its tray collects excess water, preventing spills and protecting surfaces, while the 31 L volume provides ample space for root growth and repotting larger plants.
Suitable for
- Medium to large indoor plants such as ficus, palms, and large flowering plants
- Balcony and patio plants where occasional watering access is required
- Vegetable and herb plants that need stable moisture levels
- Temporary use for repotting or as a decorative container in living spaces
When it may not be suitable
This pot may not be suitable for very large trees or plants that require extremely deep root systems because of its fixed dimensions. It is also not suitable where strict aesthetic matching is required, since the actual colour may differ from the picture.

How to use
Place the pot on a stable, level surface and ensure the tray is correctly positioned to collect excess water. Add potting mix appropriate for your plant, leaving room for roots, and insert the plant.

Monitor soil moisture periodically and top up the reservoir when needed. For outdoor use, ensure proper drainage and protect the pot from prolonged exposure to extreme weather if necessary.
What to consider before purchase
- Check that the Ø40 x 39 cm size and 31 L volume meet your plant’s root and space requirements
- Consider whether the brown colour and plastic texture suit your interior or exterior design
- Decide if a self-watering system fits your watering routine and plant species
- Confirm suitability for outdoor conditions in your climate (frost resistance may vary)
Usage recommendations
For best results, use a well-draining potting mix and regularly inspect the reservoir and soil moisture. Move the pot to shelter during extreme cold or heat to prolong its lifespan. Periodic cleaning of the tray and reservoir prevents algae and salt buildup.
