Having indoor plants can be a great way to make your living room or bedroom look livelier. However, they come with a lot of added responsibility. You need to ensure the plants receive adequate sunlight from time to time and are watered regularly. Investing in one of these automatic plant watering systems mentioned below is a good way to ensure the latter.

This automatic plant watering solution from GedFong has a simple construction and working principle. There’s a reservoir with water and a container where you can add some nutrients for your plants. The machine then pumps out adequate water via pipes.
If you’re wondering, the pumping process on the GedFong automatic watering system is handled by a motor that is run using three AA batteries. So, you don’t have to connect the machine to a power outlet or charge it frequently. There’s an LED display on the front, along with a couple of buttons and knobs to program the time and frequency of irrigation.
What We Like
- Powered by replaceable cells
- Easy to set up
What We Don’t Like
- Doesn’t dispense enough water if you have too many junctions

If you’re slated to go out of town for a long duration, the Kollea automatic waterer is the way to go. It can keep your plants alive for up to 60 days since that’s the maximum limit that you can set for the water to be dispensed. You also get a large 32ft pipe to cover lots of plants.
Compared to the GedFong dispenser, the Kollea watering system looks slightly more modern from the front. There’s a large display along with better and easier-to-use buttons. In fact, the instructions for setting the water outflow are extremely clear. You have to set how much water to output and at what intervals. One of the biggest advantages of the Kollea watering machine is that it retains the memory of how much water it has to dispense even after it’s disconnected from power.
What We Like
- Easy-to-follow instructions
- Retains memory after being powered off
What We Don’t Like
- Needs to be installed perfectly

Both products mentioned earlier do not have any sort of ‘smart’ features so to speak. While they automatically water your plants, you can’t control any parameter remotely. However, the RAINPOINT watering system changes that with built-in Wi-fi connectivity.
If you’re someone who isn’t at home most of the time and wants to control the flow of water to your plants remotely, the RAINPOINT Wi-Fi watering system is the way to go. A big advantage of the remote control feature is that you can change the amount of water supplied to your plants even when you’re not around. So, if you feel like for 10 days, they need less water but then need more for the next two weeks, you now have that option.
What We Like
- Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control
- App notifies you about the remaining water level
What We Don’t Like
- Not suitable for a lot of plants
- Initial setup can be difficult

If you like the idea of an automated plant watering machine that can be controlled remotely, the Mostenland irrigator is a great option to consider, too. The key difference compared to the RAINPOINT product above is that you can water a lot more plants with this particular pump since it’s more powerful.
While the RAINPOINT pump only works well for 4-5 plants, the Moistenland watering system claims to work well for up to 15 plants. The same set of features, like controlling the timer and frequency via the app and notifications for water levels, are present here too.
What We Like
- Works for 8-10 plants
- App control is convenient
What We Don’t Like
- The included pipes and connectors aren’t of good quality

The main highlight of the LetPot smart irrigator is its design. Unlike the products mentioned above, you don’t have to rest the main pump on a table or flat surface. Instead, you can mount the pump on a wall and let the pipe suspend into a container for the water. Thanks to this, you can even use the LetPot watering system outdoors.
Another parameter that ensures the LetPot smart plant watering system can be used for outdoor plants is its IP66 rating. So, even if it rains outside, the pump will remain safe. Along with Wi-Fi, the LetPot irrigator also has Bluetooth connectivity. Correspondingly, if you’re near the device, you can connect it to your phone without a working Wi-Fi connection.
What We Like
- IP66 rating ensures it can be used outdoors
- Bluetooth connectivity is handy
What We Don’t Like
- Pump could’ve been stronger
