Product Information

Full details

The Lechuza Classico LS 28cm planter is designed for indoor and outdoor plant enthusiasts who seek a sophisticated aesthetic combined with low-maintenance plant care. Its primary benefit is the integrated self-watering reservoir, which ensures your plants receive consistent hydration, making it ideal for busy individuals or those prone to forgetting watering schedules. However, users should note that the planter requires a brief 'settling-in' period for the root system to reach the water supply, meaning manual top-watering is necessary for the first few weeks after initial potting.

FAQs

Can this planter be used outdoors?

Yes, but you must remove the drain plug located at the bottom to allow excess rainwater to escape.

How do I know when to refill the reservoir?

The integrated water level indicator will show a 'min' level, signaling it is time to refill.

Does it come with soil?

No, the planter includes the liner and the self-watering sub-irrigation set; you will need to provide your own potting mix.

Is the black finish prone to fading?

The high-quality material is designed to be color-fast, but it is recommended to keep it out of harsh, direct midday sun for extended periods to maintain the finish.

Can I put it directly on furniture?

Yes, the solid construction is leak-resistant, provided the drain plug is securely closed for indoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water level indicator not moving

Ensure the indicator rod is not obstructed by soil or debris and is correctly seated in the shaft.

Plant looks wilted despite full reservoir

The plant roots may not have reached the reservoir yet. Resume manual top-watering for another two weeks to encourage downward root growth.

Visible white salt deposits on surface

This is often due to hard tap water. Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with a mix of water and mild vinegar.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the frequency of required watering sessions
  • Sturdy construction ensures long-term durability
  • Removable liner simplifies maintenance and plant transport
  • Sleek black finish matches a wide variety of decor themes

Cons

  • Requires manual top-watering for the first 12 weeks
  • Not intended for use with plants that require desert-like dry conditions
  • Black surface may show dust or water spots if not wiped periodically

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Classico LS is straightforward: first, place the included sub-irrigation set into the bottom of the liner. Add a layer of plant substrate or specialized drainage medium before filling with soil and your plant. For routine care, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the matte black finish. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. If placing the planter outdoors, ensure the overflow drain plug is removed so that excess rainwater does not saturate the soil and cause root rot.
