Most self-watering planters have a reservoir at the bottom that you fill with water occasionally. Then, the soil in the pot gradually absorbs the water to maintain a constant moisture level to feed the plant's roots. In this way, the plant is able to water itself as needed, and you only need to add water when the reservoir gets low, which is much less frequently than you'd typically need to water a potted plant.
There are a few ways to check. First, check the water reservoir in the bottom of the pot. If it's empty, add more water. Then, use your finger to test the plant's soil. If the soil is dry about an inch under the surface, you may also want to give the plant a splash of water.
