HBServices USA 8" Self Aerating + Self Watering High Drainage Deep Reservoir Round Planter Pot Maintains Healthy Roots, for Indoor & Outdoor & Windowsill Gardens (Black)

I repotted my little fiddle-leaf-fig into this pot, because they require good drainage, and it is doing really well. I LOVE how much water can drain out. There are a lot of slits on the bottom, not just one hole. The pot is on stilts hidden by the bottom tray which holds the water. Those stilts have holes as well, so the plant isn't completely cut off from the drained water, but is not drowning in it. It is also so much better looking than those cheapy plastic trays that catch water, so even though its just a plastic pot, it looks rather nice in my apartment. I love it, I will continue to buy these for new indoor plants.

I ordered two of the 8" pots. They are sturdy, plain but attractive. I bought them in black. I don't use the side watering piece. I take off the bottom and set my plants in the sink, soak repeatedly and let them drain out before putting the bottom back on. The pot has good drainage holes in the bottom so it drains quickly. I'm very satisfied.

These pots are great! I'm currently using one for my tomato plants, and I have the other prepped for my basil plants when they are ready to be repotted. I really like the more subtle color options, and plenty of them fit my own person aesthetics. They also have a great drainage collector that snaps into place with the pots feet. The feet are hollow, so I was even able to nuzzle some supports into them for my tomato plants. They've held together real well so far, and don't bend or warp when I pick them up. The only thing that I would say could be improved upon is the drainage slits at the bottom. They're all pretty long, making it hard to pack loose soil at the bottom without a significant portion of said soil falling through, so you'll need to put some pebbles or some wood chips at the very bottom of your planter in order to make these things effective. Other than that, I really do think that these are the best compromise between form and function.

Simple, modern design. I used to never bottom water because I didn't have the patience or right setup to do so. These planters have changed this. Bottom watering works flawlessly with these planters. They even have a little lip to pour water directly into the bottom without removing the saucer. Water is wicked right up into the bottom of the planters with no issues. All the plants I've put in these are thriving. Couldn't recommend more.

I repotted a plant that had been stagnant for a long time. After a while in this self watering pot it took off and is now doubled in size. I recently bought two 6" self watering pots for two other plants.

As others mentioned, these pots appear to be smudged, scratched, and/or scraped on the surface; however, if cosmetics do not bother you, it’ll add some rugged character to the spot. Mine is home to a peace lily in a shower area, so it’s there for ease in purpose, rather than a visual. I’m slightly apprehensive about the opening between the pot, and the bowl/saucer, as I’m curious to see how roots will react if/when they reach for the water.I love the $0.98 saved between two 8” pots and one 10” pot, since the 10” is the same surface area as two 8” pots. What a deal, guys! I bet that smudged wornout plastic is expensive stuff.

I have sadly killed a ridiculous amount of plants in my time (I'm 64). When my Dad passed I took one of the plants hoping I could keep it alive. I bought the 1st one of these planters because of the little spout ... I bought 5 more of them because it kept my Dad's plant alive for 9 yrs and the plants from my Daughter's passing for over a year. As long as you keep water in the bottom even someone with a black thumb as mine can have crazy healthy plants.

This pot works like a charm for my cymbidium orchids that LOVE water. I can drench the soil/medium every day and know that the reservoir will take care of both runoff and keep the air humidified. I water from the top, but the extra watering collar is perfect for plants that don't like their leaves wet. Best of both worlds!
