The NAVIO Color provides space for an entire small arrangement without requiring much depth. The low oval shape, gently curved sides, and silky matte surface create a clean, modern planter that looks complete from every angle. It naturally fits on narrow windowsills, sideboards, tables, and counters, while the same minimalist design continues outdoors.

LECHUZA Aqua System · without removable insert
The separating base creates the reservoir within the body itself
The NAVIO is planted directly in its outer body. The Aqua System base sits low inside the planter, separating the planting area from the water reservoir and supporting the LECHUZA-PON layer. After the initial rooting period, add water through the filling shaft and use the MIN/MAX indicator to check the available water level.
There is no separate removable plant liner; soil, roots, and PON remain inside the NAVIO.
The provided LECHUZA-PON is used as an irrigation layer above the separating base.
For about 12 weeks, water from above and then switch to the reservoir, provided the plant has rooted.
In an uncovered outdoor space, remove the bottom plug so that excess rainwater can drain out.

01
Narrow in depth, generous in length
The oval layout makes use of windowsills, sideboards and tables where a deeper round planter would be impractical.
02
One planter, small arrangement
The elongated opening allows a central plant or several small plants with similar light, water, and substrate requirements.
03
Ready for indoors and outdoors
The recyclable plastic body is manufactured in Germany and is resistant to breakage, UV, and frost. The removable cap allows proper rainwater management.

From assembly to autonomy, in four steps
The Aqua System base goes in first and the water reservoir is used after the roots develop.
01 · Assemble the system
Place the separating base at the bottom and properly fit the filling shaft with the water-level indicator.
02 · Add PON and plant
Cover the base with the supplied LECHUZA-PON, place the plant, and fill with the appropriate substrate.
03 · Water from above
For about 12 weeks, water the substrate from above so that the roots reach the moisture zone.
04 · Switch to reservoir watering
When the plant starts to draw water, fill from the filling shaft to MAX and follow the correct dry phase at MIN.
The identity of NAVIO
Oval line without a 'front' side
The rounded edges and the transition from the narrow base to the open top give the NAVIO a calm, almost sculptural character. The clean surface looks balanced from every angle, which is why it fits equally well on a windowsill, an island, or a central table.
Important construction difference
It does not have a removable plant liner
The separating base, the PON, the substrate, and the roots remain inside the body of the NAVIO. To change the planting, empty the planter; there is no separate inner insert like in other LECHUZA series.
Where each size fits
10Narrow windowsill, small sideboard, shelf, or table, when the available depth is at least 14 cm.
20Deeper windowsill, large console, bench or garden table, for a fuller horizontal composition.
—The NAVIO is a free-standing planter; it does not have mounting points for a base or balcony railing.
How to choose the right setup
01First measure the available length and depth of the placement surface.
02Compare the root ball with the space and planting depth of the corresponding size.
03Maintain a maximum plant height of 20 cm for NAVIO 10 and 30 cm for NAVIO 20.
04For composition, combine only plants with similar light, water, and substrate requirements.

Clean matte surface
Soft cloth, without abrasives
Remove dust and residues with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid abrasive sponges, hard brushes, and strong cleaners that may mark the silky matte surface.
For proper placement
Stable surface and proper lighting
Place the NAVIO on a level surface that can support the total weight of the fully planted planter, and choose a location with suitable light. On furniture or an indoor windowsill, keep the bottom plug securely closed.

The position of the plug changes depending on the space
In an indoor or covered area, the lower cap remains properly closed. In an uncovered outdoor space, you remove it so that the overflow can remove the excess rainwater without emptying the functional water reservoir.
Frequently asked questions
Are 10 and 20 the dimensions of the NAVIO Color?
No. They are size names. The NAVIO 10 has actual outer dimensions of 29 × 14 × 13.5 cm, while the NAVIO 20 has dimensions of 39 × 19 × 18.3 cm.
What does the All-in-One Set include?
Includes the body NAVIO Color with bottom drainage plug, the Aqua System separation base, the filling shaft with MIN/MAX water-level indicator, and LECHUZA-PON for the watering layer. The plant and additional substrate are not included.
Does it have a removable plant liner?
No. The planting is done directly in the body of the NAVIO, on top of the Aqua System base and the LECHUZA-PON layer. To change the planting, you empty the planter; there is no separate inner insert that can be lifted.
Do I fill the reservoir immediately after planting?
No. For about 12 weeks, you water from above until the roots reach the moisture zone. Then initially fill the water reservoir roughly halfway and monitor if the level drops. When the plant starts drawing water, use the filling shaft and the MAX indicator as usual.
When do I refill the reservoir?
When the indicator reaches MIN, you leave an appropriate dry phase for the plant and then fill up to MAX. Its duration depends on the species, light, temperature, and wind, so you monitor both the indicator and the substrate together.
Can the NAVIO Color remain outdoors in the rain?
Yes. The body is weather-resistant, UV-resistant, and frost-resistant. In an uncovered outdoor area, remove the bottom plug so that the overflow can drain the excess rainwater.
How do I choose between the NAVIO 10 and the NAVIO 20?
First measure the available length and depth and then the root ball. The NAVIO 10 offers a planting space of approximately 28.2 × 13.2 cm, depth 7.8 cm, and maximum plant height 20 cm. The NAVIO 20 offers approximately 38.2 × 19.2 cm, depth 11.8 cm, and maximum plant height 30 cm.
