The planter is designed in a woven pattern that almost universally works with most design colors. There is a hidden reservoir that stores up to 12 weeks of water.

The woven planter is designed for indoor or outdoor use. There is a gauge that lets you know when the water reservoir needs to be refilled. The self watering planter comes in 2 sizes: large and medium. Price: $70-$125. Buy product: here.
