Made In Germany

The newest addition to our ever-growing product range is a line of fragile-looking, yet unbreakable planters from Germany. First of all, to clear the air somewhat, we call this item a planter, not a vase because of the fact that besides the outer container (the vase), the planter also includes an inner liner plus a 'sub-irrigation' system. It is this revolutionary sub-irrigation system that makes watering a no-brainer and bestows upon you green fingers literally overnight.

Lets go through each of these 3 components of a Lechuza planter:

The Vase

The most visible part of the whole deal, the vase has a chic, clean, designer look to it. In fact, Lechuza is widely sought-after by professional designers in Europe. One of its attractiveness is its simplicity. The vase is also extremely lightweight, unbreakable and is also UV-resistant, something most other vases are not. Without UV-resistance, the strong colour will fade outdoors under sunlight. Finally, this vase is also frost-proof. Not a terribly important feature here, unless you have the occasion inclination of putting the vase in the freezer.

The Inner Liner

The inner liner separates the plant from the vase. This allows for quick and easy change of the vase. Larger planters also come with handles for lifting up the plant.

The Sub-Irrigation System

The sub-irrigation system takes the stress out of looking after your plants. You no longer need to guess whether or when a plant needs re-watering. Lechuza planters come with a water level indicator that tells you exactly that. Upon watering, the internal reservoir stores the water and provides a environment that gives optimum moisture to the plant and over an extended period of time. The internal reservoir only needs to be refilled every 2 - 10 weeks, depending on models. In short, you need not continously mind over your plant. Much easier to make those travel plans. Only have to worry who would babysit the dog!
