All plants need water. It’s one of their main “food groups.” And while giving our plants a drink can be a relaxing and therapeutic task, sometimes we lose track and forget when they need it. Or maybe we’re out of town for a few days and don’t want our plants to get thirsty. In either case, self-watering plant pots can be a huge help.

Self-watering planters look like “normal” planters, but they have an attached reservoir at the bottom that holds water and transfers it to the plant as needed. Many of these pots use a wicking system consisting of small cotton ropes that sit in the water, absorbing it and sending it up to the roots. Literally all you need to do is pour water into the reservoir via an open spout, and then let the planter take care of the rest.

So, we took a peek through the Amazon deals section and found 15 self-watering planters that are just a click away. Each plant pot on our list boasts a customer rating of at least 4.4 out of 5 stars with plenty of rave reviews to back them up. Some even feature small windows in the reservoirs that’ll let you see the water level so you’ll know when to refill. And best of all, they’re all on sale up to 20% off!

Whether you’re looking for something small for your succulents, something large for your monsteras or something you can hang on your porch, we’ve got a self-watering planter that’ll suit your needs below.
