ETGLCOZY 6/4.1/3.2 Inch Self Watering Planter Pots, 5 Pack African Violet Pots for Indoor Outdoor Windowsill Gardens, Self Aerating, High Drainage, Deep Reservoir(Gray)

These are incredible. Keep all my plants hydrated but not sopping wet, can control the moisture with the rope to add two for more or one looped through for less! 10/10

The self watering pots actually work very well —- I was given an impatient that over a 3 month period I almost lost a few times because of over/under watering but since placing it into the self watering pot it’s doing very well. I have transferred 7 plants so far —-all are doing well—-am very pleased with this purchase

I really like the concept of these planters. The sizes could be bigger. I’m not sure what plant to put in the smallest containers.

Great value

I ordered these pots from the numerous Self-Watering types available, thinking that the clear bases would make it much simpler to determine the water levels within them by just removing them from their outer pots. I'm not running a nursery, after all, and wouldn't have bought these had I been aware that they do not fit inside a single one of the multiple beautiful pots I've collected over the years because the upper half of the pot (into which the plant is meant to grow) is not sufficiently large to hold a plant appropriately large enough to look good in a pot into which the Self-Watering pots fit. These S-W pots are either taller than any of my pots wide enough to hold them, or to put it another way, their upper diameters are invariably too wide to fit inside a pot tall enough to hide them, so the S-W pots only fit inside decorative pots that are too large for the plant in the S-W pot. If the height is right, there are 2-3" to spare around the S-W pot and one can only see the top half of the plant. You get the point. I'm not about to waste my time fiddling around filling in the empty spaces with moss or allowing an inch or two of the white plastic to show above the porcelain, ruining whatever effect putting a particular plant into a specific pot was designed to achieve.If you're growing herbs for consumption and haven't been a longtime hobbyist, I would recommend their use to avoid under- and overwatering, as well as maintaining an even moisture level to ward off whiteflies and spider mites that would likely ruin your crop.If you want to learn how to guage how often you need to water your plants by sight rather than constantly checking them with a moisture meter, I can see where these could be very useful, particularly if you have a variety of plants with varying water needs, or wish to ensure planted seeds are in fact germinating.Obviously, these would come in handy if you're going away for a short vacation, as well, though there are self-watering pots attractive enough to be permanent homes for your plants available - not "fancy" necessarily, but certainly modern looking and able to blend in with any decor.The only reason I would ever buy this style now would be in order to see what was going on with my herb seeds, and possibly to determine the water requirements of an unfamiliar plant.With these as models and extra lessons in rocket science, however, I figured out how to make my own self-watering pots using nylon rope Amazon sells for do-it-yourselfers and cheapskates (just kiddin') and clear deli containers for the water that do fit inside my pots, rather than the ugly upside-down soda bottle or way too $$$ colored globe methodologies that were all I thought existed until a few months ago.Since I've always shipped plants to myself from wherever I traveled in the US - specifically plants that aren't supposed to live in South Florida such as wisterias and hostas, for example - I'll keep the pots to facilitate further such experimentation down the road.
