Description: If you have trouble caring for your African violet these pots could be just right for you. This offering is for twelve of the popular 5” size Oyama Planters and detailed, illustrated instructions on how to pot the planter, plus advice on growing African violets. An Oyama planter is a two-piece plastic, self-watering flowerpot with a smooth rim to protect the leaf stems of your plant. The outer pot holds approximately one week’s water supply. The violet (or other plant) is potted directly into the inner pot using a soil less (peat moss based) medium. There is a tube built into the base of the inner pot. You fill the tube with perlite, a horticultural sand-like product. The tube filled with perlite contacts the water in the outer pot and slowly pulls it up into the soil for the plant in the inner pot. This offering is for only the planters and does not include soil or perlite. Over-watering is the main cause of failure with houseplants. The Oyama planter makes it very difficult to over-water because the water is pulled up to the plant slowly and steadily. You can mix your favorite plant food into the water and thereby feed and water your plant at the same time. Plants need air as well as water at the root level. The Oyama planter is one of the best at providing good air circulation to the root system without drying them out too much. The upper pot opening of the planter measures 5” in diameter. The planting area is 3 ¼ “ deep. Overall the planter is 4 ½ “ tall. The diameter of the base of the planter is 3 ½ “. Each planter will hold approximately 2 ½ cups of your potting mix. The playing card shown in the photo is for size comparison and is not included in the listing. This listing is for twelve planters only. No potting mix, perlite, African violets or fertilizer are included. Shipping will be via USPS Ground Advantage with tracking. Thanks for looking. #135D
