Revolutionizing Plant Care, One Drop at a Time.

Over- and under-watering is the #1 killer of houseplants. The WicR insert uses capillary action to give plants exactly the water they need while preventing excess moisture. This innovative design promotes stronger roots, healthier growth, and can boost plant vitality by up to 30% compared to traditional watering methods.

WicR fits inside your current pots, preserving the aesthetics of your room.

What is WicR?

As a Senior Gardener in the nation’s largest horticulture department, I faced the daily challenge of plants suffering from over- or under-watering. To solve this, I developed WicR (Wicking Internal Collection Reservoir) a simple, affordable system that works in nearly any pot. It takes the guesswork out of watering, keeps plants healthy, and protects your plant investment.

Designed in Tennessee, Made in Georgia.

How It Works

WicR collects surplus water and returns it to the roots through specialized wicks as the soil dries, ensuring optimal moisture levels for healthy root growth and preventing root rot and overflowing dishes.

WicR's unique non-clogging, hollow-core wicks extend through the soil, into a base reservoir, and back up, facilitating the transfer of collected surplus water directly to the roots. The hollow core allows water to travel down into the reservoir, supplementing the water collected on the concave lid. These wicks also act as a barrier, preventing soil from entering the reservoir. The simple, adaptable design of WicR fits existing pots of all shapes and sizes.

This "fit and forget" system adds self-watering convenience to any container, removing the guesswork from plant hydration. WicR reduces watering frequency for indoor and outdoor plants, making it ideal for homes, offices, hotels, and other institutions, ultimately saving on plant loss and maintenance time.

WicR is food safe and may be used with herbs and vegetables.

    A game changer!

    The WicR is going to be a game changer for my plants! I like to move my plants outdoors on my screen porch in the summer, but they usually require a lot more watering, since it's warmer and sunnier out there. When I purchased a WicR, based on the recommendation of a friend, I chose one of the outdoor plants to do a trial run. Since placing the WicR in the bottom of the pot, my plant is visibly happier (perky leaves!) and I noticed after 1 week, the soil was still evenly moist all the way to the surface of the soil...I'm amazed! I will be buying additional WicRs for the other plants in my home. This product is easy to use (obviously, simple repotting required) and I highly recommend it.

    We have about a dozen potted plants in our home and we're going to repot all of them with a WicR in the bottom to take the guesswork out of keeping them watered. This is such a clever idea and we're so happy it's an American-made product!


    We don't know a lot about plant care and knowing how much water to give them and how often is the part we feel least confident with. They're either wilted from dehydration or the soil is growing mold because we have over-watered again.


    With the WicR we can be sure that the soil is staying appropriately damp without worrying that all the water is just draining out of the pot or - worse - collecting in the bottom and damaging the roots.

    Buy this before purchasing another house plant! It’s so easy to use! I just put the plastic container in the bottom of the pot, pulled up the wicks, and filled with the dirt. Now I can stop killing my plants by overwatering!

    I have been using the WicR for a few weeks now, and the difference in my plants is incredible. I started with one of my indoor pots that usually dries out too quickly, and now the soil stays evenly moist without me watering all the time. The setup was simple and I really like how it keeps the balance not too wet, not too dry. It’s honestly made plant care so much easier, especially for someone like me who forgets watering schedules.
