Planter pots

These planters are really good quality. I bought four in three different sizes. Used one for a dyi solar fountain. Perfect! The larger ones will be used as planter pots.

Plants drown in this planter

The design of this "self watering" planter does not allow excess water to drain at the bottom of the planter. When it rained a lot, the planters became water logged and I had to drill holes in the bottoms to drain the excess water. I would not recommend this item.

Not really self watering.. No reservoir to fill

Self watering means too much water can rot plant roots. There is no way to drain excess water Accept to tip the pot on its side.I just decided to drill out the holes on the bottom. I suppose you could drill a hole On the side of the pot to allow any extra an way to escape.

Self watering is a misnomer.

There is very small reservoir in the bottom of the pot to hold water and no drainage holes. There was no way to tell how much water was enough, so I overwatered and killed two beautiful bougainvilleas. Perhaps I should have realized this would happen, but I still wouldn't have known how much water to use. I am throwing out the dead plants and drilling holes in the bottom of the two containers before purchasing new plants.

Well Designed

I put bedding plants right in these pots. There's a little shelf at the bottom that allows the plants to drain but also allows for a reservoir of excess water. So it keeps the plant safer from drying out and makes for less watering frequency.

I prefer pots the color of nature. This green is perfect! I also like the fact that it is not so heavy to move pots around. The only weight is the dirt, really, as pot and the plant are small percent. Works well with yard greenery colors. Some pots are weird green. This is color of nature. Lasts well so far.

Very Nice Planter!

Very nice and good quality. Shipping was fast and the pot was well packed with lots of padding. I really like these evaporative pots. I haven’t potted a plant in it yet but it will be joining two other similar pots in my yard.

these pots are exactly what I was looking for!...I used an entire six pack of white petunias for one pot. They look fabulous in the green pots. Being such large pots can use a lot of potting soil. I used about 4 inches of styrofoam packing peanuts in the bottom, a thin layer of landscape cloth on top of the peanuts, then the potting soil. You don't use quite so much soil AND the pots are a bit lighter to move. Try them! You won't be disappointed...

Bloem Pots are the Best!

The quality of Bloem products is excellent. I purchased 12" pots. The plastic is thick/strong enough to hold 6 petunias and wet dirt without getting too heavy. I have also purchased the 8" and 10" pots in the past. Bloem pots are my go-to pots for my small bedding plant business. The inner liner that helps prevent under-watering and over-watering is a great feature also.

Nice pots

Not a whole lot you can go into detail about with flower pots. They are pretty standard. They have a nice rounded shape and are sturdy. The color is nice. All 3 are the same size & the same color. They also nest together for easy storage. In the bottom of each is a plastic spacer which keeps the dirt about a half inch above the bottom of the pot and creates a small resivoir for wather.
