12 Inch Pots for Indoor Plants, Large Self Watering Planters with Drainage and Saucers, Plastic Outdoor Flower Pot, Set of 2, Green

I have two gigantic marble queens. I needed a larger pot and these were the perfect size. They hold a lot of water for those that want to use them as self-watering pots. I love the look of it and it was easy to put together. It is light weight, but with the soil and the plant in it, it's very sturdy for my plants that sit on top of my bookshelf.

I've got several plants that like damp but not saturated/water-logged soil. It was difficult with a traditional, water from the top, pot as it seemed to be the soil would either be too wet or not wet enough which in turn caused the plants to struggle to survive but not thrive. I tried different soils, those specifically made for the plants, different watering tactics, watering globes you fill with water and stick in the soil, terracotta self-watering items and still the plants looked poorly. A friend suggested I try using the self-watering pots. I thought, what the hell, I've tried everything else so I might as well try 'em and see if it works. I transplanted the pants into these posts, got a set each of the black and green ones, a month ago and already the plants are looking healthier, got several new growths showing and the pants have grown taller with no sign of browning, wilting or dying off. I also don't have to worry about how much water to give them nor spend as much time tending to them- which helps me out with my busy schedule. The only frustration or negative I have with these pots is the opening where you put the water. The opening is small with no lip, so I had to get a different watering can that had an angled opening on the pour spout so I didn't get water everywhere. Honestly, it isn't a big deal as the new watering can was less than $20, which isn't a big deal when compared to my plants now thriving and the time saved by not having to tend to them as often.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great size

We needed a wide opening but shorter plant pot for Christmas Cactus. The middle size is good.However the sides seemed thinner than imagined. But it works!

These are perfect for what I needed them for. I like the built in drainage tray. Good size and quality.

Good pots

This was exactly what I needed to repot a small houseplant. I like the inner/outer design that helps drain off the water with no mess or fuss.

The sizes are ok. But In my opinion they are not really self watering pots.
