Sub Irrigated Planters (SIPs)- Urbanscape Self-Watering Planters

Sub irrigated planters (SIPs) are planters that hydrate plants from below the soil line. All of our planters here at Urbanscape Planters are sub irrigated planters.

Our planters all feature a water reservoir and wicking chambers that slowly and evenly keep your plants hydrated from below. Click the link to learn more about how it works.

There are many reasons that these self-watering planters are popular and beneficial for businesses and municipalities. We’ll highlight some of those reasons below and showcase some of our most popular planters.

Sub irrigated planters

Similar to what happens in natural settings, where trees and plants get hydrated from below by aquifers and saturated zones, our self-watering planters also provide consistent and gradual hydration from below.

This natural process provides moisture directly to the plant’s roots, reducing the risk of fungus and disease in the leaves of the plant. The overflow drain on our planters expels excess water from the planter eliminating flooding and root rot. You will simply need to fill the planter’s reservoir once every week, or a couple of weeks, depending on the planter.

Self-Watering Planters

At Urbanscape, all of our planters are self-watering. What this means is that plants are hydrated via a reservoir inside the planter or pot. The planter’s reservoir is filled up weekly (or even less frequently with larger planters) and the soil draws the water up using capillary action.

This type of watering offers many advantages: less water use, better plant health, fewer leaf/stem problems and less labour. The wicking chambers allow water from the reservoir to deliver a consistent level of moisture directly to the root system, ensuring optimal plant growth. You will waste less water on spillage and evaporation, and you will save time and money with reduced watering.
