Flower pot with tray Stefanplast Gaia Ø25 cm light gray with self-watering system, 9.5 L

Stefanplast Gaia flower pot with tray is a plastic planter designed for indoor and outdoor use. The pot has a Ø25 cm diameter and 9.5 L capacity and includes an integrated self-watering system and a removable tray to collect excess water, reducing spills and making routine watering easier. The light gray finish suits neutral décor; however, actual colour may vary from the picture.

Advantages

The integrated self-watering system maintains a reserve of moisture below the soil level, which helps reduce the frequency of surface watering and supports steady root hydration. The included tray collects overflow and protects surfaces from stains, while the durable plastic construction is lightweight and weather-resistant for both indoor and outdoor placement. The 9.5 L volume accommodates small shrubs, flowering plants and herb groupings.

Suitable for

• Indoor houseplants such as small to medium flowering species and foliage plants
• Outdoor balcony or patio plants where a compact, weather-resistant pot is needed
• Herbs and edible plants that require regular but controlled watering
• Situations where a drip tray is useful to protect furniture or decking

When it may not be suitable

This pot is not intended for large trees or very deep-rooted shrubs due to its 9.5 L capacity and 25 cm depth. If you grow very water-sensitive species that require precise soil moisture monitoring, the passive self-watering system may not provide the fine control some specialist plants need.

Key specifications

• Material: durable, weather-resistant plastic
• Overall diameter: 25 cm
• Height: 25 cm
• Growing volume: 9.5 litres
• Features: integrated self-watering reservoir and removable drip tray
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor

How to use

Place a layer of drainage material (such as coarse gravel or broken pottery) at the pot base if desired, then add potting soil appropriate for the plant species. Position the plant centrally and fill to the required level. Fill the self-watering reservoir according to the manufacturer guidance so water reaches the wick or inlet; monitor the water level and top up as needed. Use the removable tray to catch overflow during heavy watering or rain and empty it if standing water accumulates for long periods.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 9.5 L volume and 25 cm diameter fit the root system and space available
• Consider plant water requirements and whether a passive self-watering system is appropriate
• Ensure the light gray colour and plastic finish match your interior or exterior design
• Note that colour may vary slightly from product images

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a well-draining potting mix and check the reservoir weekly; reduce reservoir fills during cooler months. When used outdoors, position the pot where it will not collect excessive rainwater, and periodically clean the tray and reservoir to prevent blockages or algae buildup.
