Used on outdoor balcony, white colour suits.Have bought a few now, price felt high initially but quality is good. Happy.

 

This plant pot looks nice but it is not self-watering. I followed all the instructions to a t, but the plants all died from lack of water. I then did the same process again and the plants started to die. I ended up watering them directly and they were fine. Do not rely on this to water your plants for you.

I like this planter a lot, even though it isn't going to serve my original intention. I bought it to consolidate all my happy and growing jade plants in my living room. Sorry, but it's just not sleek and modern enough to be a focal point of the room. However, it's not going back. No way. I know exactly what I'm going to do with it. Shortly we are moving to a new condo with a big bathroom and correspondingly big bathtub sitting beside a big window. We are shower people, so I am planning to put plants in the bathtub. This planter is the perfect device to accomplish that. It's tall enough that the plants will show. And it has all those handy features we really value--an indicator when water is needed, easy watering ports, easy draining ports, plastic legs so the porcelain won't be scratched. It's perfect.In addition, I highly recommended it to a family member who has a balcony garden with lots of sun. The ample water storage area and "water-me" sensor will make his life a little easier and his garden a little more lovely.

I have quite a few (20+) Indoor plants in various pots, with circular baking pans to capture overwatering. The pots range from the ugly plastic nursery pots, to expensive ceramic, none of which accept uniform watering. I (formerly) had a nice Brazilian teak floor that is now discolored from my attempts to water my plants. It finally occurred to me to find a potting solution that watered from below so that my to-down watering wasn't spilling all over the place. Self watering that would allow me to water a number of plants just by filling a self-watering planter reservoir was appealing.I went online and found that the top-rated self-watering planter, on several websites, was the Glowpear. I always check out negative reviews first and found that there were issues expressed by several other reviewers about products damaged during shipping, difficulty in mounting the legs, and leaking. Leaking in an interior planter box application is of course really concerning.1.Shipment Damage. I ordered 4 units. They arrived via UPS with only minor packaging dings or gouges. Upon opening the boxes (which are HEAVY cardboard) I noted that the packaging was very well designed, No damage to any parts whatsoever. All assembly parts present and accounted for. So far so good.2. Leg Installation. Each box has two legs, on either end. Each leg attaches to the box structure with 4 threaded bolts, 2 each on the top and 2 on the bottom of each leg. For the 4 planter boxes and 8 corresponding legs, 16/16 bottom bolts seated perfectly. For some reason, the top bolts were problematic. 4/16 seated perfectly without manipulation, 8/16 seated imperfectly (but resisted pull-out), 4/16 never seated at all, just free spun?? Good news is that the legs are also firmly press fit into the planter box and having a perfect seating on the bottom bolts, are not going anywhere. However, the maker should look into making the upper bolt connections more viable. If I buy more units I will dry fit and, if necessary, will incorporate epoxy or other high-strength adhesive to bind things together. to compensate for the upper bolt mounting stuff. Problem with this is that you can't , once epoxied, take apart the unit, later.3. Leaking. Why wait until you've spend hours adding soil and plants to the planter only to find out later that it somehow leaks? Following assembly I filled the reservoir on each box to check for leaks. None in any of the 4. So, I opened up 1 of the 4 drain plugs and drained all 4. Then I planted. BTW, each box will take > 30 lbs soil + plant mass--pretty heavy. After a week no leaks.4. Filling Water. Please follow the Seller's instructions! After planting, first top water the plants and planting medium SLOWLY, 1-2 gallons, to thoroughly soak the soil. I used 2- gallons because there was no reason not to (given that the reservoir is 3.5 gallons), so there was NO risk of overflow. I set a timer for 2-hours to allow drain down through the soil. After 2 hours I added water to the side wall filling locations until the "all-fill" indicator tab popped up. All 4 planters filled perfectly. I stopped watering just as soon as the tabs popped up.. As a double check I looked at the twin overflow containers at either side of the planters. Dry. So, no leaking that I can see. I will update my review as the plants grow (and hopefully thrive) in their new homes. If they do thrive, this is a great value for the money. So, take my 5/5 rating below as provisional subject to update.

Great product used for herbs 🪴 very pleased with Amazon and delivery

Great self watering system . Ideal for low maintenance gardening.

Really love these planter boxes (bought six of them) and how they can be linked and are "self-watering," but they were incompatible with our flat steel rails (0.5" thick by 2.5" wide). I had the top of the mounting brackets (which are 0.25" thick) cut/polished/painted just shy of the 2.5" mark, and then had a 3/8" hole drilled in the center of each. I then had corresponding 3/8" holes drilled in the rail and secured the boxes to the rail with 3/8" stainless-steel fasteners. The resulting install is very secure (no flex whatsoever) and clean looking, with no exposed plastic handles to catch clothing on. I can mount the boxes inboard or outboard, but mounted them outboard and planted elephant food plants in them, which should grow to cover the boxes and hang down nicely. Take some time to follow the instructions and set these up properly, and you shouldn't have any problems.

I bought this to use indoors this spring when I felt the Spring Fever hit me. I'd really like three of them to sit along full length windows in my living room but thought I'd try one for now. It was easy to assemble. So far I am unable to comment directly on the full capability of it to self-water since i planted seeds (spinach and basil) in it which you have to keep moist from the surface. In a few weeks when things have taken root, i'll do an update. It looks clean and classy. (a few friends have been intrigued and interested in getting one). I do wish it came in a selection of colors as I have zero stark white in my decor and live in predominantly warm hued brick and wooden home. No matter, still seems to be a great way to add fresh herbs/food to my indoor gardening. Also, No leaks upon filling the reservoir.

Having become addicted to fresh basil over the summer, we needed a basement raised version for the colder months. The quantity buyable in the grocery store just isn't enough. This is deep, holds plenty of water, and is maintenance free. With some LED lights and a timer, this is a self operating echo system. Just add some water every couple of weeks.In terms of build, this is a solid formed plastic container which matches up perfectly with the pictures. Easy to assemble. Not a whole lot too it. Pricing seems pretty high given what it cost to produce, but there are no comparable competitors. These can interconnect to share the water reservoir. I only bought one so I can't speak to how well that works, but the parts are included and look fairly straightforward.
