Khloris watering systems for AutoPot

 

Want to grow stunning, long-living, diverse houseplants with ease? The kind of eye-catching varieties that can transform even a small indoor or balcony space into an other-worldly green haven? Khloris can help you do all this, and more.

 

This brand new automatic plant watering system from AutoPot is the first of its kind to be designed for living rooms, balconies, and conservatories, combining a tasteful, sculpted, interior- friendly aesthetic with highly effective, easy-to-use irrigation technology.

 

What do we mean by ‘the first of its kind’?

We mean the system operates automatically but 100% power-free, requiring no electricity whatsoever. It needs no mains water pressure - making it stress free to set up and leave unattended. And unlike any other watering system it is fully-responsive to plant needs.

 

Uniquely, Khloris irrigates and feeds only in response to uptake - exactly matching supply to demand, for phenomenal results every time. This RHS endorsed system not only puts an end to hand watering, it actually gives plants full control of their own irrigation - they can draw what they need, when they need it, and thrive.

 

The system performs brilliantly with all varieties and is especially adept at handling houseplants and orchids. These can have sensitive and wildly differing needs, so keeping on top of regular-but-not-excessive watering can be a bit of a challenge if you’re irrigating by hand.

 

Khloris allows you to forget such issues altogether, as watering is automatic and each plant in the system controls its own rate of irrigation according to its individual requirements.

 

Available early 2026 in copper, metallic sage, or blackberry, each Khloris system includes two pots equipped with water control devices, a reservoir and all the colour-coordinated pipe and fittings required to create the ideal layout for any space.

 

Also coming soon - Khloris extension modules, which allow you to run a total of four pots from each reservoir.
