The Armour Self Watering Egg is a smooth egg shaped planter in a textured black finish, built around an integrated water reservoir. It sells in two sizes, 370mm and 480mm across, and the reservoir is the reason to choose it: the pot holds a steady level of moisture at the root zone instead of swinging between soaked and bone dry.

Why you'll love it

  • The reservoir does the routine watering. You top up a water store rather than judging the soil every second day.
  • Rated for indoors and out. The same pot suits a living room corner, a covered patio or an entry, so a plant can move inside without a change of container.
  • No saucer to buy or empty. The saucer is integrated into the self watering design, so nothing sits under the pot on a timber floor.
  • Light enough to shift. The pot can be repositioned by one person before it is planted.

Sizes and what fits in them

Two sizes, and the difference is real planting volume rather than a few centimetres of height.

  • 370mm. 37cm across and 35cm tall, holding roughly 30 to 35 litres of mix. Right for decorative foliage and compact shrubs, or anything now in a 250mm grower pot.
  • 480mm. 48cm across and 45cm tall, roughly 60 to 70 litres. The feature size, with more water in reserve, so top ups come further apart.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. A lightweight planter in a textured black finish that gives the surface depth rather than a flat sheen. It wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Outdoors. Both sizes are listed for outdoor as well as indoor use and handle normal weather on a patio or balcony. We hold no frost or UV rating for this finish, so in cold inland districts keep it under an eave.

Drainage. There are no open drainage holes to plug or unplug. Drainage is managed inside the self watering system, with water held below the soil for the plant to draw on, so no saucer is needed indoors. Top the reservoir up rather than flooding the mix from above.

What to expect when it arrives

Pots ship empty, with no plant, potting mix or liner in the box. Position the pot before you fill it, particularly the 480mm, which holds 60 litres of wet mix once planted. Pots are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
