These Self-Watering Wicking Vase Planters provide your plants with a steady supply of moisture, so you don't have to worry about remembering to water them. Perfect for your desk in the office, a kitchen window, or just about anywhere. A terrific idea if you're a little less than consistent with your watering.

There are three parts to the device: the plastic net pot, where you'll place soil or rocks and the flower or herb; the canvas wick; and the colored glass vase. Your set of four includes one each in clear, red, blue and green.

The net pot's opening allows roots to naturally grow through. The wick is attached to the basket and floats down in the water, which should fill the glass vessel but not actually touch the net pot.

Liquid and nutrients are slowly absorbed into the soil or rocks via the wet wicks. Plants that require excellent drainage, like orchids, succulents and cacti, may not be successful in a self-watering containers.

A great gift for a gardener who wants to start some seedlings before transplanting, or anyone who would like a little bit of nature nearby...without worrying about not having a green thumb!
