A self-watering plant container for a flower pot. The container base defines a cavity for holding the flower pot and an interior chamber for retaining water therein. The base has a first aperture in its outer wall that opens into the chamber and water is introduced therethrough. A plug seals the same. A channel extends between the chamber and cavity allowing water to flow therebetween. Water accumulates in the cavity and flows through openings in the bottom of the flower pot. The base includes a second aperture through which a hollow tube extends into the chamber. The tube provides a mechanism for bringing the system into equilibrium by permitting atmospheric air pressure to balance the water levels in the chamber and cavity. The container includes an electronic sensor that transmits a signal to a remote electronic device to indicate when water must be added to the container.
