Look lovely but not a fan of self watering feature
I really like the appearance of these pots. They are good quality and the size is as described. They have good drainage from the inner compartment, but I would say the self watering feature is not for me. It comes with a little bit of cotton string, which you are supposed to feed through the hold on the inner container. Then fill the well of the bottom container and it will draw water up. – my problem with this, is it feels as though there is very little control. Not to mention you need to lift the inner container all the way out to check the water level.
The colour is a lovely shade of grey and I think it makes the green on the plants stand out. As they are so mall I have used them for succulents, but would have preferred them to have a slightly larger inner container.
They are easy to use and good value for money, but I would advise thinking through if you want the self watering feature or not. Although I guess it would be good if going away, but due to the small size, I imagine most people will use for succulents, which can survive a few days without moist soil.
Overall I am happy with the purchase, just maybe I should have read the product a bit closer to see the exact size of the inner pot where you actually plant the plants.
Neat, effective keeps plants alive.
Nice lightweight easy to use. Would be even better if there were a way to top up water without lifting the whole thing off the shelf to remove the soil pot every time. But as it’s quite a long time between waterings it’s only a small niggle.
Fabulous design, great innovatio
There is nothing about these self watering plant pots that I do not love. I am very guilty of killing plants, particularly as I often have to spend time away from home and no-one will remember to water my plants while I am away. On return, they’re often dropping and sometimes are past saving. These pots give a lot of freedom to plant lovers, without all the hassle of home-made solutions.
Basically they consist of an avocado-green pot (very of-the-moment) and a black inner, the inner is the water chamber and the two are connected via a rope so that the water can travel up the rope to give the plants a drink whenever needed. Alternatively if you water from the top, the black reservoir will act as a plant saucer to ‘save’ the water until it is later needed. it’s a simple trick, around a long time but lately done with so much style or ease.
I chose the set of six 6in pots which are very good size and will be transferring herb and salad seedlings into them once they are big enough. I can now have a self watering edible garden on my windowsill , with a cost at time of writing of only 16.99 (excellent value considering you are basically getting six large pots and six saucers for this price) – can’t ask for better than that!
Great - perfect if you're going away, or just bad at remembering to water plants...
I love these self-watering pots! As someone who’s notoriously forgetful when it comes to watering plants, these pots have been an absolute game-changer for me.
The design is simple but ingenious. The cotton rope absorbs water from the pot, keeping the soil consistently moist without the need for daily watering. It’s saved me so much time (and guilt). I can confidently go on short trips or even forget to water for a while without worrying about my plants drying out.
The quality of these pots is really good. They’re made of high-quality, non-toxic, heat and cold resistant plastic, which gives me peace of mind knowing that they’re safe for my plants and durable enough to last a long time.
Plus, they look pretty cute!
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with them. They’ve simplified my plant care routine, ensured my plants stay healthy and hydrated, and looks nice on the window sill. If you’re like me and struggle with remembering to water your plants, I can highly recommend.
Great size, do the job
I love the colour and the quality is great. My little plants love their new home! I have definitely noticed I don’t have to water as often since I’ve moved my plants into these. Great buy and will get more when I need them.
Save forgetting to water or even overwater the plants using these!!
Great pots I will buy more at some point
I have repotted some plants to these and they have really picked up
Shame they don’t do large
My plants are thanking me for these
I’ll admit it, I am not the best when it comes to watering my plants when they need a drink of water, but that problem is now gone thanks to these pots.
These pots are sturdy, well made and look really nice but they also do a great job at keeping my plants hydrated when I sadly can’t. I can’t really see any problems with these besides maybe if the roots grow a bit too vigorously and then I can see how they possibly would get stuck in the grate in the bottom, but even that isn’t a huge negative in my book. Would recommend!
Love the self watering
This pack of 6 plant pots come as size 6 inch and are also self watering and are priced at 16.99.
The plant pot’s are plastic and come with a black inner which has holes through and also some rope which is the main reason I got these, I am always either over watering or not watering my plants enough so always end up with dead plants and I had just realised I just shouldn’t have plants until I saw these and I love this idea. You put water in the bottom of the pot then add the black inner with the rope in the bottom and plant your plant, once planted the rope controls the amount of water so it can drain into the bottom but the rope will absorb the water up into the soil if it gets dry keeping it moist at all times and therefore giving the plant the best care possible for the forgetful owner.
Other than this the pots seem well made and durable whilst also looking nice with the modern design and easy to clean plastic. I would absolutely recommend these.
Nice pots
This set of 3 self watering plant pots look really nice in the pale green, there a 3 inserts for the pot and 3 lengths of rope that attaches for its self watering.
Before any plant gets potted the rope needs to be fed into the base of the smaller black pots and then potting can commence.
The smaller black pots have been filled with some houseplants, ( I have no idea what they are ) and water has been put into the green pot.
They feed themselves by slowly absorbing the water up through the cotton rope, which then keeps them hydrated.
These pots are ideal if you need to go away for a holiday and have no one to pop in to water them, just fill the small reservoir in the green pot and place your black pot back inside, they will then keep themselves watered and you can relax knowing there won’t be loads of dead leaves when you return.
At 11.89 at the time of writing this review, these pots are a good buy, especially if like my wife there are plants everywhere you look, she is impressed so that’s a bonus.
Nicer looking alternative to boring orange clay pots
Are you bored of the standard clay looking pots? Well I sure am, and finally decided it is time for me to report all of my plants in something a bit more fancy.
These pots are great – they look nice, but are also functional (having separate containers for the soil and the water to be able to drip down so you don’t suffocate your plants with stale water).
This is a great solution when you want to make your plants look a little more fancy and presentable but without sacrificing function.
The price, however is a bit steep for what is essentially some plastic containers, but if you don’t mind the price then I think these are pretty nice pots.
Would recommend!
Good pots
These are a great idea for looking after your house plants! I have some dotted around and despite me watering them they seem to struggle to survive. I am possibly over watering them, but thought I’d try these. It’s a great idea, a set of plant pots with a removable interior. The water is fed through some small rope which runs through the bottom of the pots, this is not visible but ensures a constant source of water for the plant. After only a week of usage my plants are looking healthier. Would also be great solution if you are not home much or for when you go away for a longer period of time.
These are very easy to set up and use, however my only issue is the quality of the exterior pots. They look fine but really are quite flimsy. I feel like the manufacturer could have spent some more time and money on improving the exterior design and quality
Protects from underwatering/overwatering
A brilliant idea, ideal for me as I’m not the best at keeping houseplants. Works well. However I had to buy compost and repot the plants into the pots (I really didn’t think it through when I ordered them). The fact of the matter is, they actually did need repotting. The only problem I found with these posts was the depth of the actual pot. It was shorter than some of my current plants. Yet because of the water storage in the outer pot, the size was the same. Some of the plants I could afford to lose some of the soil depth, some I couldn’t. Bear this in mind when ordering. Also ideal for my bedding plants outside in the summer.
