Many green-fingered folk will know all too well the worry that comes with leaving behind your precious plants for a summer holiday, will they survive a couple of weeks without water, or will you return to less than healthy houseplants. Sometimes, life can also get in the way, and finding time to care for your growing collection of greenery can be tricky. Thankfully, sustainable plant pot creator, elho, has the perfect solution to prevent your plants from wilting in the heat, so you can enjoy the summer worry-free!
Sleek and simple, elho’s self-watering inserts fits neatly inside your chosen plant pot to keep houseplants happy and hydrated. The handy water metre lets you know when your plants are thirsty and require a top up, taking away all the perils of over or underwatering. Once replenished, the insert will drip-feed water into the soil, keeping moisture and hydration levels balanced and consistent- just how plants like it!
The self-watering insert comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from 17cm to 43cm, fitting comfortably into most elho indoor plant pots. The insert comes in living black, a neutral and subtle shade, offering a practical and time-saving solution.
The aqua care watering system offers an easy and fun plant hydration solution. Simply top each globe up with water and insert them deep into the soil at a slight angle. The innovative design will ensure your houseplants stay hydrated while you enjoy your summer getaway by releasing water whenever the plant needs it, ensuring the soil doesn’t dry up and disrupt the plant's growth. The wide spouts are a practical addition to ensure soil does not clog up the globes and prevent an adequate flow of fresh water. The aqua care system comes in three colourways, a neutral option of transparent for a more discrete look, or lime and eggplant for those who prefer bold and beautiful colours around the home!
Don’t forget the garden!
It’s not just houseplants that require hydration while you’re enjoying a summer getaway. The hot British sun can cause havoc for your outdoor greenery, especially if you’re unable to water them for a long duration of time. Thankfully, elho’s innovative watering solutions extend to the outdoors, with the greenville range offering an integrated water reservoir.
The handy built-in water reservoir stores excess water for later hydration. This prevents the plant from becoming too wet, which increases its risk of root rot, the water is simply stored and reused over a few days – a particularly useful feature while you’re on holiday! The
greenville range is not just practical, but its modern design and stylish features make it a great addition to patios, decking and even balconies.
It includes a variety of plant pots and hanging baskets, with seven choices to pick from. The greenville easy balcony flower pot is perfect for adding bedding plants, trailing greenery or even evergreens to green up your balcony or railings. For statement floral centrepieces, the greenville bowl offers plenty of growing room – and thanks to the water reservoir, your precious plants will be well and watered, so that your mind can rest easy!
The greensense aqua care is another innovative self-watering innovation. These pots can be placed indoors by using the pot-plug provided, or outside with the plug removed for draining. They also feature the useful built-in water reservoir and water metre for ease and peace of mind.
