Take the hassle out of daily watering with our self-watering window box systems, curated by Hooks and Lattice for healthier plants and easier maintenance. We’ve carefully selected a collection of window boxes designed to accommodate our custom-fit water reservoirs, transforming traditional containers into low-maintenance, self-sustaining planters.
Built-in Convenience
When you choose a self-watering window box, simply select the option to add a reservoir during checkout. We’ll include the correct number and length of reservoirs to pair perfectly with your chosen box. Don’t worry—a reservoir doesn’t have to span the full box length. Our specially engineered design efficiently waters the soil within a 6–8" radius, keeping nearby plant roots hydrated and thriving.
Effortless Installation
Creating a self-watering system is simple and takes just minutes:
1. Add a layer of small pebbles at the bottom of your window box to support drainage.
2. If your box has drainage holes, lay down a piece of filter fabric to keep soil in place.
3. Place the reservoir on top of the gravel layer and insert the fill tube.
4. Add high-quality potting soil, ensuring the fill tube remains above the soil surface.
5. Plant your flowers and top-water initially to help roots reach the moisture source.
6. Fill the reservoir through the tube. Once established, plant roots will self-regulate water intake, drawing exactly what they need, when they need it.
