Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find AquaPots?®

We encourage shopping local, so call your local independent garden center and ask for AquaPots® by name. If your local retailer doesn’t carry them, you can buy them online.

I live in the south; can AquaPots® take the heat?

They sure can! AquaPots® were born to be displayed in the hot sun of southern Florida. If your area is prone to long, hot spells, you may need to water your AquaPots® twice a week.

I live in the north; can AquaPots® handle freezing weather?

Absolutely. Aquapots® inventor Jack Barnwell began his business in Michigan, so he understands cold winters.

We recommend emptying all the soil and water out of your AquaPots® at the end of the season, before the ground freezes. Then store them out of the elements, like in a garage or shed. If you turn your empty AquaPots® upside down, you can even leave them outside all winter.

How do I know when to water my AquaPots®?

If you’re using an AquaPots® container, our unique overflow prevention system means you cannot overwater your plants.

When you water, fill the reservoir completely to optimize self-watering. Plan to water about once a week – possibly twice during the hottest part of summer.

The AquaPot® reservoir holds 2.9 gallons of water. You'll know when a ceramic AquaPot® is full when a bit of water drips from the overflow hole.
