This #floridabeautyvariegata is thriving in its Naked Root pot! I’ve had this sitting in here for about a month and it’s already put out 2 leaves and the roots are already emerging through. This plant is so resilient and grows so fast!

I love these pots! I love them even more knowing they are a US based company AND the pots are made in the USA.

My TC's leaves were starting to get yellow and brown tips and I think it was because it was drying out super-fast. So I repotted it into a Naked Root planter with some fresh soil so the roots can get better air flow and to give the plant some more nutrients :)

After two weeks, I have a beautiful new leaf, and another on the way, and is it just me or does my plant just look bigger and healthier overall!? I’d say she’s very happy in this planter.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions from fellow plant lovers.
If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us - we’ll get back to you within one day.
How is Naked Root different from other self-watering planters?
Most self-watering planters rely on a water reservoir that slowly feeds moisture to the plant from the bottom up, which can leave the soil wet for too long and starve the roots of oxygen - risking root rot.
Naked Root is different. Our planters are designed to breathe, allowing water to reach all the roots (not just the bottom ones) and ensuring they stay oxygenated and healthy.
Once the water is absorbed, fresh oxygen flows in, replicating the natural water-oxygen exchange that happens in nature, keeping your plants happy and thriving.
Does soil fall out of the aeration slots?
A little, at first. When you repot your plant into the Naked Root planter, a small amount of soil may fall through the aeration slots during the first few waterings.
But don’t worry - after that, the soil will settle and stay in place. Just give the outer pot a quick rinse if needed.
How long can I grow a plant in the Naked Root planter before transplanting?
Theoretically, forever! The plant will never get root bound, but as the roots grow, they’ll need more frequent watering. If you're happy with its size, it will behave a bit like bonsai, staying compact but healthy.
Is Naked Root safe if I’m growing food?
Absolutely! All Naked Root products are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, making them perfect for growing your own food.
Is Naked Root a good planter for any plant?
Yes, every plant benefits from oxygen at the roots. Naked Root is designed to work with all types of plants, giving them the perfect balance of water and air to thrive.
