# I just got a silver dragon alocasia today I’m so excited. It came in…

_Posted by Angelfire on 2025-09-12_

I just got a silver dragon alocasia today I’m so excited. It came in a self watering planter. Is there any major concerns with it being in one? Is there a way to mark that it is a self watering planter in planta?

There’s no way to officially mark it as self watering, but just set a custom schedule that only reminds you to “water” when it’s time to refill the reservoir.

This is how I set my self watering pots. If Planta wants me to water and there's still water in the reservoir, I'll snooze it. I usually like to let it get empty, but with the strings still damp before I refill
