Know before you buy
The device is crafted from porous ceramic, which naturally allows water to seep through the walls at a slow, steady rate. As the soil dries out, the ceramic releases moisture to maintain a consistent hydration level for your plant's roots.
The small size holds 300 ml and is best for standard houseplants, while the medium size holds 450 ml and is better suited for larger pots between 7 and 10 inches. Consider the water needs of your specific plant when choosing between the two.
It is designed for most common indoor houseplants that prefer consistent soil moisture. However, it may not be ideal for succulents or cacti that require the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
The Cove features a convenient top-fill design. Simply pour water directly into the opening at the top of the ceramic spike without needing to remove it from the soil.
Yes, the ceramic material is durable and designed for long-term use. You can leave it in the pot as long as you continue to refill it, though it is good practice to clean it occasionally if you are repotting your plant.
