Kodai Self-Watering Herb Planter, Water Level Float, Two-Colour Foot

A self-watering herb planter wrapped in fine vertical ribs, standing on a smooth Foot you can print in a second colour. The Base holds the water, the Planter screws in above it and holds the soil, and a Float rises and falls in its conduit to show the water level at a glance.

Sizes

Parts

• Base: the ribbed outer body. It holds the water.

• Planter: holds the soil and screws into the Base.

• Float: sits in the conduit and shows the water level.

The Adapted Funnel

This specialized funnel fits the D-shaped watering channel of the planter.
