Drug up your plant (or just water it) with a self-watering plant pot. This curious invention is no doubt inspired by a visit to a hospital. Aside from starting conversations, the self watering plant pot is also a useful way to stay on top of your watering.
“This self-watering plant pot’s main feature is a medical drip feed. This unique characteristic allows the plant to be nourished with water and food as it is required. The drip feed provides a striking design focus as well as acting as a reminder to its owner as to when it needs topping up.” - IV Plant Pot
