Small:

Height 20 cm (8 in)

Recommended with pots up to 16 cm (6 in) high, or all setups with height difference up to 13 cm (5 in).

Medium:

30 cm (12 in)

Recommended with pots from 11 to 26 cm (4.5 to 10 in) high, or all setups with height difference up to 23 cm (9 in).

  1. Moisten the entire wick before you begin, this will help ensure water can flow from vase to plant.
  2. Gently lift out your plant from its pot, and circle the moist wick at the pot's base or around the roots. Nestle your plant back into its pot, aim for the end of the metal tube to be at least 3 cm/1 in into the soil.
  3. Pop the other end of the straw into a container of water and give your plant a thorough watering.

Gradually adjust your current watering routine over a period of 2-3 weeks or until balanced, especially for delicate plants.

  • Did you know that you can control moisture by adjusting the length of cotton wick that goes into the soil? More wick means more moisture, so you can make the straws work for little sprouts or majestic ferns, growth periods or rest periods.
  • The straws help keep the soil evenly moist. Use them for plants that thrive under such conditions, like those from rainforest and swamp environments. 
  • Refill and shift the water in the vase regularly. We recommend changing the water and thoroughly watering your plants with fertilizer once a month. 
  • Wash, trim, or replace the wick as it wears out over time. Use a nylon thread to guide the new wick through the tube. Shift the wick whenever you notice a change in how your plants are doing, or when you’re repotting.
  • The straws are asymmetric to allow for a variety of setups, and you can use either end in your plant.

Simplify Your Plant Care with Plantstraws

At the heart of Plantstraws lies a story of innovation, creativity, and a deep-rooted love for plants. Founded in the vibrant city of Stockholm by the visionary Elin Fyhr, Plantstraws embodies the spirit of Scandinavian design—functional, sustainable, and effortlessly elegant.

A Journey from Idea to Icon

The journey began in the dual worlds of Copenhagen and Stockholm, where Elin, amidst her architectural studies and a life split between two cities, envisioned a solution for her unattended plants. Uninspired by the mundane self-watering solutions that cluttered the market, she sought to marry functionality with aesthetic appeal. The result? Plantstraws—a sleek, self-watering system that not only hydrates your plants but does so with an undeniable style.

Sustainability at Its Core

Every straw is assembled from circular materials in Vetlanda, located the forested highlands of southern Sweden. We're committed to sustainability, using recycled cotton and durable metals to create a product that's kind to the planet and your plants. Our design philosophy is simple: create products that last, inspire creativity, and turn plant care into styling.
