Photo of two plants with DAKSJUS self watering inserts on top of an OLIVBLAD plant stand from IKEA in a living room.

Picture Post: Decided to try out some automatic watering inserts from IKEA. Yes, they’re seriously IKEA. Each one is mouth blown. Also finally picked up some plant stands too.

Hello visitors from search engines. Just so you know, I’ve stopped using the watering inserts as of April 2024. They keep soil too most to the point the pots were becoming a breeding ground for flies and other insects. Your results may vary, but I don’t recommend these, which is a shame, because they do look good.
