The Unique Plant Holder Accessory That Brings Nature's Calming Effect Indoors

If you're not familiar with the Japanese word "kawaii," one of its translations is "cute." But it's so much more than a word; kawaii is a style movement and aesthetic that's rooted in cuteness and has no age barriers. If a little joy and whimsy in your space sounds appealing, and if you have any houseplants, The Cloud Makers' dripping rain cloud for watering plants undoubtedly fits the bill. Starting at $25 on Amazon, the dripping rain cloud is perfect for those who love something quirky, but practical. This triple-threat waters plants, provides a calming water feature, and is inarguably adorable.

The Cloud Makers' dripping rain cloud is an easy way to take your planters from boring to beautiful. This cloud-shaped plant waterer sits on two transparent acrylic dowels that you set up in potted houseplants and is meant to water them in a delightful way. Fill the cloud with water, and the watering container drips over your plant slowly like rain. The dripping allows the soil to absorb the liquid gradually, and provides you with a cute, calming feature for houseplants that will help you relax.

The 411 on The Cloud Makers' dripping cloud

This potted plant accessory holds 4 ounces of water that you add to the cloud, and it dispenses the liquid over the course of around five minutes. The dripping cloud will fit any pot larger than 5 inches in diameter. Two 10-inch acrylic dowels with pointed tips hold the cloud above the plant without taking away from the lovely foliage. While the original, just a white or gray cloud, is pretty dang cute, The Cloud Makers have expanded the line. You can choose clouds adorned with rainbows, sunshine, thunderbolts, butterflies, and more. Since the cloud only holds enough water for a five-minute shower, it's not meant to support your plants if you're away from home. Instead, try this hack that'll keep all of your indoor plants alive while you're on vacation.

The Cloud Makers' dripping cloud has raked in a hefty number of 5-star reviews. Owners rave about how it gives them a bit of happiness as the cloud refreshes their plants. A good number of reviewers did state that the dripping cloud is a little more form than function, that it doesn't water for long enough, and that sometimes the drops of water bounce off the plant's leaves and don't reach the soil. Yet, nearly every review mentions that the cloud dripper is charming enough to make up for its shortcomings.
