The innovative planter is designed to be as hands off as possible. With the WATAIR irrigation system, certain types of plants only need to be watered by hand once every three weeks, which means if you’re going on vacation—or don’t have time in your schedule for regular plant care—you can walk away from your pot knowing it will do the hard work for you. And while you devote energy to other things, your plants can act as natural air purifiers for your home.

Bigger plants, like a trendy fiddle-leaf fig tree, will need to go in larger-size floor planters. You can also make a bigger statement with moderately-sized plants by putting them on plant stands.

Additional manipulations to the nutrient solution’s composition encourage plants to start producing tiny tubers.

This is how it works: Two systems are connected in a recirculating loop. Consider the fish tank as the nutrient solution reservoir. Water from that tank is pumped into the hydroponics tank (which usually sits higher than the fish tank), but not before being filtered for sediment and channeled through a column containing nitrifying bacteria. The bacteria convert the nitrogen from urea form (fish urine) into the nitrate form (food) that plants use for growth. The plant roots help purify the water before the runoff drips back into the fish tank. That is a simplified explanation for a complex living system. As the system matures and the nitrifying bacteria increase in the columns, plant yield increases.

Many mixes for use in planters are peat based. I always suggest mixing at least some sterilized, bagged, all-purpose soil to the planter blend. A little real soil adds staying power to the blend for a longer and more easily maintained period of bloom or production of edibles.
