Care That Happens Quietly

Our self-watering system is built right into the base of every planter, using a hidden reservoir and custom volcanic rock blend to deliver water from the bottom up – just like in nature. No daily check-ins. No overwatering. Just precise hydration that keeps your plant thriving with less effort and more confidence.

Behind Every Vessel Is a Story

Our planters begin as raw clay in the hands of skilled ceramicists – many of whom craft each piece by hand right here in California. Whether wheel-thrown or slip-cast, every vessel is shaped with patience, precision, and purpose. From kiln to studio, no two are exactly alike. These are pieces with presence – designed not just to hold life, but to reflect it.

Grown in Lava Rock

Our premium lava rock blend is specially formulated for Plantwell self-watering planters, giving trees and plants the perfect balance of moisture, aeration, and stability. Crafted from black lava rock, pumice, calcined clay, and horticultural charcoal, this inorganic mix promotes strong root growth, prevents rot, and keeps nutrients available without breaking down over time. Designed to wick water evenly while maintaining essential air pockets, it’s the ideal foundation for healthy, long-lasting plants.
