A planter prevents over-watering of plants that results in messy overflow of water. The planter allows plants to absorb water from the roots to promote healthier plants and prevent rot, such as rot of the trunk, stalk, and/or stem of a plant. The planter can have a double-wall that provides a self-contained chamber for water to be absorbed as needed from the roots up through small filtered holes in the bottom of the interior wall. A decorative cap or plug located on the top edge of the planter allows access to the chamber between the two walls of the planter. The planter includes a vertical transparent window along the exterior surface to allow for measurement of the water level inside the planter.
