FAQs
How often do I need to refill the water reservoir?
Refill frequency depends on the plant's needs and environmental conditions. The water level indicator will show when it's time to refill, typically every 1-3 weeks for most indoor plants.
Can I use these planters for succulents?
While the self-watering system is beneficial, succulents prefer to dry out between waterings. It's best to remove the wick or use the planter in a way that allows the soil to dry completely, or use a very well-draining soil mix.
What is the best type of soil to use?
A good quality, well-draining potting mix is recommended. Lechuza also offers 'Lechuza-Pon', a mineral-based substrate that works exceptionally well with their systems.
Are these planters safe for outdoor use?
Yes, they are made from durable polyresin and include a drain plug for excess water, making them suitable for outdoor environments.
How do I clean the glossy surface?
Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the capacity of the water reservoir?
The 28cm Classico planter has a water reservoir capacity of approximately 2.5 liters.
Troubleshooting
Plant appears wilted despite water in the reservoir.
Ensure the water supply wick is making proper contact with the soil and the reservoir. Water the soil from the top to re-establish moisture.
Water level indicator is stuck or not visible.
Gently try to move the indicator float. Check for any debris blocking its movement within the reservoir. If damaged, contact customer support.
Excessive water in the bottom of the planter (outdoors).
Ensure the drain plug is removed to allow excess water to escape during rainfall.
Mold or algae growth in the reservoir.
Empty and clean the reservoir thoroughly with mild soap and water. Rinse well before refilling.
