How Does This Water Cacti Work?
Inspired by cereus cacti and their impressive water retention abilities, these porous clay Coves gradually seep water into your houseplant's soil. Start by preparing the planter, creating a divot in the soil, then plant your Cove partially with the topper peeking out. Then, remove the cap from the Cove, fill it with water, and pop the top back on. Et voila, your indoor garden is in good hands.

How Often Do You Refill the Cove Water Cacti?
Depending on the size of the plant and the season at play, it's best to check your Cove every three to seven days to see if the waterer needs a re-up.
