The Self Watering Flower Teapot Planters Container is the pot that
waters the plant and keeps them alive and healthy if you can't always tend to
your loving plants or while you go on vacation. Our pottery provides a
variety of self-watering planters, wonderful for any plant that requires
consistently even moisture.
Because of the way the pots work, your plants will not be over-watered, and you
will not need to water again until the water level falls below the bottom of the
insert. Your plants will be happy and watered, even while you travel.
Professionals and amateurs alike revel in the designer colors and styles that
not only keep their plants alive and healthy, but are adding a decorator's touch
to countless tables and window sills.
Each self watering teapot will hold a 4-Inch Potted Plant.

Testimonials:
- I just have to tell you how much I love your pots! I have never been
able to keep an African violet plant alive and now I can.... Thank you from
the bottom of my heart for this wonderful product!
~S. B.
- I have my African violets in the violet pots and they are doing great. I
could never grow those plants before I heard about the violet pot.
~D. C.
- We bought some smaller pots which are supposed to do the same thing but
they don't at all!!! They let way too much water in...I have 7 new babies
I'm nursing along and they will be overjoyed at their new pots.
~T. W.
- I just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful violet pots. I
have never been able to grow violets successfully until I tried your pots.
Now I grow so many I give them as gifts (in one of your pots!). Thanks
again,
~P.J.
- I cannot brag on your pots enough. Our plants love the constant even
watering.
~C.P.
- We have bought about three of your pots from Home Depot in Miami, FL.
They work great!
~J.
- I now have six 4" blue pots and am amazed at how well my African violets
are doing. I had one plant for several years and it never would bloom. Since
I transplanted into one of your violet pots, it began blooming and doesn't
seem to want to stop. These pots are wonderful; a great invention!
~A.D
- Since last year I've purchased your blue medium pot six times for gifts.
My girlfriend asked me what I wanted for my birthday...ignorant question. I
am now a proud owner of a blue medium pot.
~K.Y.
- I love your pots. They have turned a violet into a hobby of many violets
for me. I have about 20 of your pots...
~M.M.
- I have my African violets in the violet pots and they are doing great. I
could never grow those plants before I heard about the violet pot.
~D.C.
- This is late in coming but is just as sincere. I appreciate the sample
pot you sent to me. Everyone who sees it is excited about it. I've already
potted another violet in the medium [size pot] which I took this plant out
of and it is growing so fast I will surely need a large pot by the time they
get on the market! Everyone is envious of my violets so I am going to buy
the pot and plants for Mother's Day presents!
~A. K.
- Since my last e-mail I have purchased several of your pots and planted
violets in them and given them as gifts. People really love them! Especially
the concept.
~S. B.
- I was excited to hear you have larger pots. I have been looking to no
avail. My violet measures 13 inches by 12 inches (leaf span). I had
transplanted into another pot that is not as self watering and it is
beginning to wilt a little. So I am anxious if you can help me out. Here is
a picture of my violet. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Soil Mixture Tips:
Many plants like constant moisture, but they don't like to be soggy. In our
planters, this requires soil that is porous - even more porous than the African
Violet soil sold in garden centers. You should use this soil mixture for any
plants that you put in the self-watering planter.
The following soil composition is recommended by professional African Violet
growers and works extremely well:
- Peat Moss 2 Quarts
- Perlite 1 Quart
- Vermiculite 1 Quart
- Powdered Lime 1 Cup
- Dehydrated Cow Manure 2 Cups
Mix well and store in an air-tight container.
To use, take out amount needed and add enough water to moisten slightly. Do not
make it soggy. Plant in pot insert, fill the bottom portion with water, speak
kindly to it and watch it grow.
If you do not want to mix your own soil, we strongly recommend adding Perlite
and Vermiculite to commercial African Violet Soil to increase porosity for they
are often much too heavy.
African Violet General Care
There are lots of general growing instructions available for all plants. Here
are some tips specifically for African Violets. Beyond the basics, use
your own instincts and get to know your plant. Frequently what works for one
will not work for another. African Violets require a light porous soil.
When using our self-watering planters, it is very important that the soil be
light and porous so that the plant does not become soggy.
African Violets require bright indirect light, but not hot sun. A bright
northern window, the early morning sun of an eastern window, or the late
afternoon sun of a western window are the best sources of natural light.
African Violets like even moisture, and should never be allowed to become
completely dry or soggy. Over-watering causes root and crown rot. Remove
withered flowers and yellow leaves to encourage new growth and flowering. If the
plant gets a "neck" as the old leaves are removed, take the plant out of the
pot, keeping the soil in tact. Scrape the "neck" slightly with a sharp knife and
plant again, covering the neck with dirt. This will allow the plant to grow new
roots from the "neck" area. If the root system is too long, cut a portion off
the bottom before replanting. Fertilize on a regular schedule by placing
liquid fertilizer directly in the bottom portion of the pot. Use a mixture
diluted to 1/2 to 1/4 the normal strength.
When you buy an African Violet, you will frequently get more than one plant
in the pot. As your violet grows, if you see two distinct stems, you can
generally separate them into two plants. To do so, remove the plant and soil
from the pot. Gently shake to remove enough soil from the roots to separate the
plants. Replant in individual pots.
