   Wet Pots are the BEST Pots

   To say I’m a fan of wet pots would be a huge understatement. I first tried a wet pot on an unnamed sansevieria I received as a gift for purchasing a sansevieria from a private seller. I was careful to put perlite, LECA, and pumice at the very bottom of the pot to hopefully prevent too much water from wicking to my unknown, but much loved plant. I kept the water level low in the outer pot and the plant has survived 😀. So, I decided to try one after I revived a sansevieria Cleopatra in a relatively dehydrated state (see photo). I prepared the pot the same as I did for the previous plant and am very happy with the result, a fully hydrated and thriving sansevieria Cleopatra. So, I’ve been slowly replacing the pots for my hard leaf sansevieria with we pots. Recently, I planted a philodendron Mayoi in one, I’ll have to do an update, but so far, all is well.

   Plants are happy now & I’m stress-free

   Hard to keep ferns & violets happy when you work long hours (& maybe have ADD), these pots are a godsend. You don’t need to take the terracotta insert out every time you water. Just gently move the insert over a bit to make room to water. I would suggest using a watering can with a long slim spout for these. You don’t need to add much water, and you can easily overflow the reservoir (you will do that a couple of times until you get the hang of it, so keep a towel handy). Also consider a clear liquid fertilizer that can be added to the water. Even though the water is in a enclosed space, these pots seem to maintain humidity around the plant, as the soil remains evenly moist without being entirely wet.Along with the ease of care, these are very minimalist, clean, and attractive. If ever it’s time to size up, I hope to find larger ones.(I purchased another brand and style of these, so that review will be similar.)

   but…

   I would love to give 5 stars but it gets very mouldy inside and outside the container…I got those thinking I would save time just filling it but didn’t expect I would have to clean the container all the time, which doesn’t save me any time at the end.Other than that, it’s great.

   Great planter

   This is a great planter. I have this on my desk at work, I travel a lot of work and I'm only in the office two days a week. This self watering pit has been able to keep my little plant alive and thriving. I got a few larger sizes as well. This is a great purchase, you just need to clean out the glass jar every so often and I would recommend only using filtered water to prevent build up on the terracotta.

   Mold

   There were no instructions in the box with my planters so I just “winged” it. I didn’t know about soaking or adding rocks like I am now reading in reviews. I have noticed mold within the 1st week of planting. I don’t know what I can do to fix this situation.

   Best planter for African violet!!

   My African violet wasn’t doing very well in her old pot, she had never bloomed. Just 30 days in the new pot and she’s healthier than she’s ever been and she bloomed!!

   Sturdy and Convenient

   Never heard about self-watering terracotta clay planters. Was skeptical at first, but now I am convinced that these planters are very convenient to have at home. Want to replace all of my pots with these ones. The plants are easy to maintain. The pot is clay and water absorbent. The soil is never boggy. Filled the glass container about 1/3 depth and the water will last several weeks. Easy peasy. By the way, the cylindrical shape design is modern. Remember, just add water to the bottom of the glass container and the water will be slowly absorbed. This is like an invention for me. In addition, the way the pots were packed is really impressive! No wonder, the pots arrived without any damage. Both pots are perfect for my medium and smaller-size plants. The best thing I like that I can go away for one-two weeks and do not worry if my plants are hydrated enough while I'm gone.

   Great idea but…

   So I love plants. When I saw these I thought they were cute and different. I had never seen such a thing. I liked that they came in two different sizes. They look very nice.So the whole idea of self watering is great. Not to mention just the look of the clay pot sitting in the glass jar is just gorgeous. Great look.While the look of it is great. Even the concept is genius, what I’ve noticed is that you have to make sure the soil has been thoroughly watered. Otherwise the water from the glass jar is not going to keep the soil moist. It seems that the soil has to already be moist (at least from what I’ve seen). I initially put the pot in the watering jar while the soil was “dry” and the soil never got damp.Quite honestly I don’t feel this pot, while very cute, is for plants that need moist soil. That’s my opinion. It does not seem to me the water from the glass jar penetrates well enough for high moisture needing plants.Overall I still give 4 stars. Mainly for the look.

    These are BRILLIANT

    Coming from a plant obsessed biologist, these are great!! I have wayyyy too many plants that I often times fall behind on watering and this fixes that problem. They mimic the natural way plants absorb water, encourage deeper root development, all while not over saturating the soil and evenly watering. I seriously want to replace all of my pots with these. Absolutely great!!

    Amazing and Creative Design

    I have never seen planters like these before! I love the fact that you can keep a plant hydrated by filling the glass portion with water so that it will soak through terracotta from the outside in and that you can keep an eye on the water level as well. Very cool concept and these are nicely made and fit well together. Thanks and hope this helps!

    No Water Worries

    Looking for a solution for over or under watering outdoor and house plants and I found these and thought they look perfect. I transferred my plants and filled the water reservoir as directed (adding small rocks at the bottom of the clay pots). That's it - so simple and easy to see when the water is empty to refill the clear bottom glass. I like that I can go away for days and not have to worry if my plants will get enough water while I'm gone. I will use these pots indoors when it's the end of the season for these outdoor plants. Recommended!
