Know before you buy
Once the soy candle has burned down completely, remove the brass-plated tin and any remaining wax residue from the ceramic vessel. You can then insert your 3–4 inch plant directly into the ceramic pot, utilizing the integrated reservoir system for self-watering.
This planter is designed to accommodate a 3–4 inch transplant. It is best suited for small houseplants or herbs that thrive in compact containers.
The planter features a sidecar reservoir that uses a bottom-feeding system. This allows the plant to draw up the exact amount of water it needs through the soil, which helps prevent common issues like root rot from overwatering.
We recommend hand-washing the ceramic vessel with warm, soapy water to preserve the glaze and ensure the internal reservoir system remains clean and free of debris.
The candle is made from 100% soy wax, which provides a clean, slow burn. It is housed in a brass-plated metal tin that is easily removable once the wax is spent.
