Planters

Our planters have been designed to produce bumper harvests by keeping plants perfectly fed and watered at all times. Expertly designed and extensively tested by our horticulturalists and made in England to last. Our self-watering planters are listed below. 

Our tomato and tall plant planters, chilli planters, salad planters and herb planters help you to get bigger harvests. With our planters your plants will have access to water whenever they need it, but the roots are never stood in water, so access to oxygen is never limited. Your vegetable plants (from aubergines, beans and chillies to squash, tomatoes and zucchini) are kept perfectly fed and watered for several days at a times in these planters so they produce bumper harvests. Our Saladgrow for salads and Herbgrow for herbs are ideal planters for growing in small spaces and for growing salads and herbs all year round.

Our chilli growing kits are designed by Chilli Experts to help you grow bumper harvests no matter how little space you have. We have everything you need to grow chillies from seed to healthy mature chilli plants which produce bigger harvests. If you need some help choosing the right kit for you, email us or give us a call.

We've been growing chillies for over 35 years, so we're biased but chillies are one of the most popular plants to grow at home. Whatever your taste, mild, medium, hot or sweet, they are a firm favourite for adding flavour and colour to meals and they have well documented health benefits. The size your chilli plant will reach depends on the variety you choose, and with a wide variety of chillies to choose from you will be sure to find one to suit your location and growing space. Small varieties such as Apache are idea for growing at home on your windowsill but if you have additional space such as a greenhouse then there is a vast array of flavour sensations to tantaslise your taste buds.

The Chilligrow keeps your plants perfectly fed and watered at all times without ever overwatering. Simply fill the 7 litre SmartReservoir and let the FeederMats in the pots pull water up to the roots when they need it. Although your chilli plants have access to water whenever they need it, roots are never stood in water, so access to oxygen is never limited.

Unless you are growing in one of our Chilli Growing Kits with our plant nutients, feed your chillies with a general liquid fertiliser until they are established. Following that use a high potash fertiliser to encourage your chillies to flower and fruit. Keep them weed-free and keep an eye out for common pests.
