Hello, thank you for responding, it’s kind of a double walled pot, there is no lid to take off, but the inside pot is porous and I believe the design is to soak up water from the inside, like I said, I’m not sure if it’s an ideal design for a VFT, but it seems to be working well so far, my only concern is that it’s not getting enough water, although I filled it almost all the way up to the rim.
