Smart 1 Pot XL + Tank system (often referred to as the AutoPot 1 Pot XL System
🌱 What It Is
This is a self-watering, gravity-fed growing kit that includes:
-
A 12.4 gal (≈47 L) reservoir tank with lid
-

-
The AQUAvalve5, which lets plants water themselves without electricity, pumps, or timers
-
All necessary fittings: filter, grommets, filters, tray, tubing, root control disc, etc.
