LECHUZA planters: a water-wise gardening solution during UK hosepipe bans

As hosepipe bans and water restrictions take hold across the UK, gardeners are looking for smarter ways to keep their plants healthy while reducing water use. With their intelligent self-watering system and innovative planting substrate, LECHUZA planters provide the perfect solution.

Designed in Germany and available to buy at www.thelechuza.co.uk, LECHUZA planters use an integrated sub-irrigation system that can keep plants watered for up to 12 weeks, dramatically cutting down on the need for daily watering. Especially valuable during drought conditions, this reservoir-based system uses up to 80% less water than traditional containers, making it a game-changer during hosepipe bans.

Hero ranges include the CANTO Stone 30 (set of two – high and low designs), RRP £110.60, and the CLASSICO range from RRP £13.49. New for 2025 is the PALO, from high-quality eucalyptus wood, known for its natural hardness, durability, and beautiful grain. Prices start from £152.99.

But LECHUZA offers more than just clever watering. Every planter is designed to work perfectly with LECHUZA PON, a mineral-based substrate that replaces traditional compost and provides plants with everything they need to thrive.

“With LECHUZA, you’re not only saving water, you’re giving your plants the best possible start,” says Artur Iliev from LECHUZA. “PON offers stable root support, balanced aeration, and a steady supply of nutrients, all without the mess or compaction issues of soil.”

How Lechuza self-watering system works

Why LECHUZA is ideal during a hosepipe ban:

  • Water-efficient self-watering system: reduces the need for frequent watering
  • Visible water level indicator: so you only top up when necessary
  • Nutrient-rich LECHUZA PON: ensures optimum root development and long-term plant health
  • Stylish and durable: suitable for patios, balconies, and indoors

LECHUZA PON is available in a variety of specialist blends tailored for different plant types  – such as CactusPON, VeggiePON, and PalmPON – making it easy to create a lush, sustainable container garden that’s perfectly adapted to dry conditions. LECHUZA Pon is available to buy from thelechuza.co.uk from £5.99.

With planters available in a range of elegant styles and finishes, from minimalist to rustic stone looks, LECHUZA proves that saving water doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style or plant wellbeing.
