This planter is a must for anywhere you want to hang a plant. Hanging plants dry out quickly in hot weather, and I am happy to have the added protection from losing the plants I paid for.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

Love the design and the extra water reservoir/capacity but the watering port is awkward angle for watering using a watering can. I have 3 of these for indoor plants and 2 of the 3 leak badly around the watering port when I water from the top of the pot. I have to put a towel underneath as the water pours through the crack where the inside liner meets the outside near the watering port. Probably beat for outdoor use where leaking wouldn't matter as much.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I planted some impatiens in this pot this year to hang on my deck. It does get a good bit of sun, so it dries out more quickly than I thought it would. On the hottest days, I still must add water to this twice, sometimes three times, a day. However, it is easy to use; the plants seem happy and are growing well and never have gotten yellow leaves like my other impatiens do.
I've purchased 2 more for next season, but will try locating them more in the shade.

Excellent product, well made, cuts down on watering. Also bottom spout makes it easier to water. Best part-can go away for a week and come home to happy plants!! I bought 3 last summer and now added 3 more this year. The only suggestion I have is to add more sizes in the pots-I would like an even larger pots.

 
Bad design

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

It is hard to believe that this item has received such rave reviews - obviously many folks are wowed by mediocrity. The opening on the side is too low to provide easy filling so water tends to spill everywhere. If the designer of this product actually used it he/she would discover that putting the opening for water higher up on the side would significantly improve the capacity and watering ease. After one year of frustrated use I plan to dump it in the recycle bin. Hopefully Gardeners will come out with an improved version someday.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I travel a lot and my poor plants suffer from lack of water while I'm away. I was nearly ready to give up on hanging baskets when I discovered these self-waterers. The package says plants can go up to two weeks and, while that's an exaggeration in the heat of a mid-Michigan summer, it has allowed me to come home to live flowers if I'm gone for a long weekend. Next year I'm going to convert all of my pots to self-waterers. I'd say these pots are certainly a "bloomin' success"!

Best Uses:

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

The basket is quite attractive, but it has not reduced how often I need to water. The basket is outdoors in full sun and I have to water it every day. I ended up putting it inside during a 3 day vacation so that the plants wouldn't die. It might be better suited to indoor plants or hanging in part-shade. It does appear to hold plenty of water but in full sun that water is used up quickly.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

We travel back and forth to our camp so plant most of our annuals in containers. We have had great success with your self-watering planters and a problem with large hanging plants that we thought were well insulted with deep soil and moss covering. We purchased them already planted at a nursery and they were expensive. We decided to try the somewhat smaller diameter (not by much), self-watering hangers. To our amazement they came through beautifully with the awful hot spell we just had while we were away. It was 95 degree heat with no rain for 5 days. The reservoirs were dry when we returned, but the plants were just fine and top watering showed the soil there hadn't dried out. We are really very pleased and are telling everyone how great these hangers are. So far no complaints at all. We have green ones.

The side fill is good for baskets placed high but I would prefer to have a top fill model like the window boxes with more capacity ... have an opening allows the water to evaporate quickly ... these are better than an ordinary basket but could be better.

I bought 2 and then bought 2 more when I saw how great these were. I put in annual seedlings and also some morning glories that are climbing up the string. All plants are thriving. I just wouldn't put in nasturtiums again in these....the reservoir gets sucked dry by those guys in about an hour...the rest of the plants can usually go a few days, unless heat is extreme.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I planted wave petunias and hung them (I bought 3) from the deck above my patio. Since I don't get much sun on the patio, it's important that these hang in the sun from a hook on the deck floor above.
I have tried to grow colorful flower pots from these hooks before, but I can't seem to keep them alive and thriving because I can't seem to be consistent with watering daily. This fits the bill perfectly! Finally, I can have success!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I bought my first couple pots and put Tumbling Tom Tomatoes in them. The plants are doing great and I picked my first couple tomatoes yesterday! I ordered more to replace my coir lined baskets that were always drying out. When my Mother saw them she was sold and I ordered a half dozen for her garden. Everything we have growing in them is growing great.
The only things I don't like about them is the fact that arn't as deep as they look because of the reservoir. I wish they were just a bit deeper for transplanting existing hanging baskets. The other thing I don't like is the hanging cords. They are just a polyester cord that I can tell will give out sooner than later. These cords are attached to the pot with plastic clips, these to I foresee breaking and no longer being able to use the pot.

These baskets make watering my plants so easy. The location of the fill hole is so convenient and I love the mocha color I purchased. Buy these with the self watering container mix and you don't have to worry about watering your plants as oftern. If you do purchase one, I suggest that you have a heavy bracket or or shepherds hook as the pots do get heavy when the reservoir is filled with water.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I bought two of these in 2008 so I'm on my third season with them. The only way in which they have weathered is the ring at the top has gotten rusty (the ropes have also gotten dirty but not moldy I don't think). I expect I will have to replace the rope and ring next year or the year following.

These baskets do a good job of wicking water from the reservoir to the potting mix in my experience. I think you can get away with using something other than their potting mix (unlike with the self-watering window boxes, IMO). I grow nasturtiums in these with great success.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I am replacing a pair of Self-watering hanging pots that I have had for a long time and are cracking. I was concerned that I would not find anything to replace them. I am pleased with my new hanging baskets and I have to say they are better than my original ones!
This is a great product and would recommend to give them a try.

We've used the self-watering hanging pots for several years. While they help somewhat, they don't wick that well so they don't save us that much watering. They don't work well enough to leave plants without watering during vacation.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I have an old wooden bicyle rack that I assigned a new task last year. I placed it on my deck to hang plants and used cheap plastic baskets. Looked great but baskets broke half way through the summer and watering all of them was a bother and hard to remember to do.
These self watering baskets are durable and incredibly efficient to keep the plants going strong. They are attractive enough i have one inside at my kitchen window. Great color choices and big enough to do a great transplant from the original containers used in the stores.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I love the idea of this basket, and I am glad I got four to hang on my porch. So far, it's working well. However, whoever designed the opening for the water resevoir didn't take into account that people have different shapes of watering jugs. It is clearly designed for a jug with a long, skinny spout. Since I don't own such a jug - I use an old milk jug - I had a very hard time filling the resevoir. Maybe if it came with a removable funnel?

Nice pot, does what it's designed to do. It is a little large for the hanging wall bracket, so if you intend to use this with that bracket, I'd suggest a plant that doesn't extend much beyond the diameter of the pot (2 inches is ok) otherwise it will look crowded against the wall.

Even after following the instructions as how to plant, etc. I am still filling the reservoirs every day. These baskets hang from a porch that gets morning sun and afternoon shade.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

Basket is actually designed nicely and is very attractive. But I needed something to hold water for several days as an outside hanging basket while I travel often. This basket dries every day. I come home after 2 days to dry plants. I have 4, they all work just like every other basket out there. Worth the value of a nice looking basket, not worth more. I imagine it would be very much more effective for indoor plants.

These pots definitely cut down on watering; however, they don't last as long as advertised. If I fill the reservoir, it will be empty 48 hrs later. My plants are in the shade, so the sun isn't drying them out. It's definitely better than the pots the hanging plants are purchased in.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

In the past I have used wire hanging basket with a liner. I was frustrated because they liners don't hold up over time and you are constantly watering your plants. Heaven forbid you miss a day or two of watering and your plants will die. I decided to order these self-Watering Hanging Baskets and I am overjoyed at how well they work and how beautiful they look! The baskets are made of sturdy material that looks far more expensive then they actually are. It's very easy to water your plants and fill the resevior with water. Now if you have to go away for a day or two, the flowers will survive. My flowers have never looked better!!

THE POTS ARE ATTRACTIVE AND EASY TO USE BUT EACH YEAR I HAVE HAD THE NYLON CORD BREAK AWAY FROM THE RING. THE POT GET HEAVY FROM THE RAINFALL OR WATERING AND AS THE WIND SWAYS THE POT, IT RUBS THE CORD AGAINST THE METAL RING AND BREAKS IT. THE POT DROPS TO THE GROUND AND ALTHOUGH THE POT DOESN'T BREAK THE ARRANGEMENT IN IT IS RUINED. PLEASE CONSIDER USING STRONGER (UNBREAKABLE)CORDING IN THE FUTURE. ANY FUTURE PURCHASE WILL DEPEND UPON A CHANGE, HOPEFULLY ONE WHICH YOU WILL POINT OUT IN YOUR ADVERTISEMENT FOR IT.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I've used these baskets for years, and they're great! I hate tacky-looking hanging baskets, so I started buying these primarily for their simple classic design. I found the self-watering feature is helpful too.

The only minor annoyance is that, because I use the white baskets, the matte finish makes them difficult to clean. But that's something that I'll put up with because in all other respects these baskets are darned near perfect.

Not only did they survive- they look fantastic a month later. And these hanging baskets are the key. Hanging on the porch, they make it look like I am a real gardener.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

It's great to have a pot that you don't have to water all the time - but I just wish they had chains instead of rope to hang it. I know I'll have to replace the rope next year - but then I'll like it better. And, Gardener's Supply carries the chain in packs of 2 for less than [$]!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I use these self watering planters for my spider plants and newly rooted cuttings.
They look great in any indoor room and you do not have to worry about the plants if you travel alot.
I typically refill the planters every 2 or even 2.5 weeks.

I love them!!
great new colors too.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I'm undecided on these baskets as of yet. It's just April in Texas and there is no water in the reservoir just a couple hours after filling it. While the soil does stay moist, I'm concerned about how these baskets will do when it's 100+ here in the summer. They were quite costly so I'm expecting to be able to go 24 hours before refilling the reservoir. But it's not looking good if the water doesn't even make it 4 hours in the spring!

Bought two and hung them right next to normal pots.
Planted tomato's in all. Growth in the hanging pots was stunted. Water drains down onto the plants causing problems. They never produced a single tomato while the pots right next to them were covered with them.

Don't waste your money on them.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I got one of these when my hanging fern kept drying out and liiked sad and straggly. At first, I was worried because there wasn't as much space for dirt/roots as the fern had in the old pot. That turned out not to be a problem-within 4-6 months, the fern had tripled in size, and is as green and lush. I only water it every couple of weeks. SO I'm here to order lots more of these!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

These pots are great hanging with cascading plants (the hummingbirds love the fushchias!) and make the heat of summer much more tolerable for the plants and the gardener with their water retention features. A strong base for the hanger is needed to accomodate the weight of the plants and the water - we found out when our first set came crashing down in a thunderstorm! It gave us a chance to get another set though, in even nicer colors and with the improved wicking feature.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I bought this hanging basket to replace a model that I had bought from Gardeners Supply 15 years ago, and which had finally kicked the bucket. I like most everything about this newer model such as the size, color, and ease of use.

However, there are three cons worth noting. The older model had a clear bottom. This enabled you to see how much water you had added and to see if the reservoir had run dry. I really miss that in this new model.

Second, the new model uses polyester cords for hanging. Because they are stretchy, it has taken some time to get my basket to hang evenly. The old model had chains, which I much prefer.

Third, I use a typical plastic indoor watering can to fill the reservoir (the kind with a slightly curved spout). The angle of the reservoir opening in this basket is such that it will not allow for a lot of tilt on the part of the can. The can must therefore be more-or-less full when pouring water into the opening in this basket.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I had planted basil seeds and transferred store-bought pansies. The pansies became infected with white bugs, so I had to throw them out, but when I needed to thin some sage and parsley that I had started from seeds, they took to the pot beautifully. The only thing I'm a little nervous about is that I think the seedlings might be getting a little overwatered because I always keep the spout full. But time will tell! (FYI - I live in Brooklyn and grow everything in windowsills. This seems like a great solution for indoor gardening).

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I've had these hanging planters for three or four seasons. At least one winter, they were stored outside. They only give you a couple of days of watering at a time, but with the bottom hole they are easy to water. And they are very attractive. Some reviewers have expressed concern about the ropes. My ropes have held up fine for several years! In fact, when I first got the planters, I accidently snipped one of the ropes, so I repaired it with a section of twine. The twine deteriorated after two seasons, but the ropes are still holding strong!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I have been eyeing these self-watering hanging-baskets for a long time. I am often away for several days at a time and, seeing my ferns hang under my porch-line, they don't even get rain to help them out. I bought one pot last month and I'm about to order three more. It did everything I hoped--kept the plant watered while I was away, took the pressure off watering when I'm home, looked attractive, made watering much easier. Two things I hadn't expected: I transplanted the rattiest fern into the new pot and now it's by far the most thriving one! Also, my hanging ferns tend to dry-out so that water, when they finally get it, just rushes through them. Not any more!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

The self-watering hanging containers are nice to have on our porch. I don't worry anymore about the plants drying out, or the water just flowing through the edges and not getting to the roots. The plants look healthy. The water level is easy to check with a finger in the "fill hole" --- if it's dry or low, add water! I did find it a bit tricky to put the water in the holes, but one of the lower-force settings on our hose seems to aim it about right.

Holds lots of water as advertised but really needs to be kept filled through the bottom hole instead of watering thru the top. Didn't care for the hanging cord on this item as it is not easily adjustable like a linked chain is.

I use these planters indoors, and my hanging plants have never looked healthier! The self-watering feature is so reliable, I can leave them unattended for up to two weeks. They are very well-made, sturdy, and retain their good looks even in direct sunlight. This is now the ONLY hanging planter I will ever use in my home!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

These planters work well in that I can skip a day or two of watering, but I was disappointed in the cord from which the planter is suspended. It feels cheap, and it was badly snagged on both of the planters I purchased. Also, the planters do not hang level, though I tried stretching and reconfiguring the cords. Still, I didn't consider returning them worth the effort. Would I order again? Well, I would look around for better ones at local stores first.

My new hanging basket is beautiful. It fits two impatiens plants, with plenty of room for them to fill out as they grow, so I don't have to transplant them, as I usually have to at this time of the season. I'm glad I purchased it, and look forward to many seasons of use from it.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

Great indoors. I have also been using it outdoors. Major drawback is the design of an open hole for drainage and filling. Since we have a mosquito problem in the northeast this is a big concern. I wish there was a covering over it to prevent mosquitos from entering the water supply. I plugged the hole with a paper towel for the moment. I own the self watering planters and windowboxes. Their design doesn't allow the mosquito to enter.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I potted several annuals for my 87 year old mother so she wouldn't have to attend to watering them daily. She simply uses her small watering can to fill the cavity, and the flowers so far (three weeks) are thriving. Next I plan to grow some English ivy for my daughter's indoor garden. I do wish the rope was a different color. black would be preferable because it would be less noticeable. KC

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

In central Minnesota and living out in the country, I have found it almost impossible to have nice hanging baskets on my porch. The weather/wind combination make it very difficult ot water the correct amount. It seems as though your very expense annuals either rot from too much water or die from the wind drying them out! This has been the perfect solution for my problem

I have only had the planters for one summer. I do not have the concerns about the string that others are having yet. Suggestion: I have purchased key rings for the end of my rope hangers. I can securely clip them to any looped hook and know that they are secure.

Used outdoors with a variety of plants. Have 4 located in partial sun. I only need to water once a week which is great when you work 'more than full time' a good distance from home. I like the small drainage opening in the bottom of the pot. This drains easy and allows an index finger to make sure the pots have not completely dried. I am very pleased and will probably buy more once a new hanging area is completed.

So far these baskets have been great. I have many hanging plants on my front porch and get sick of watering them by climbing on a chair every two days. These pots let you put your finger in a port below and check if the water level is low. They stay full in hot weather for about a week. They look fairly nice, despite being plastic, but hey, they work. The plants inside them are thriving nicely. Would recommend.

I used the hanging baskets for my petunias on the porch and deck. The baskets look pretty decent for plastic basket but don't do the promising job of watering "automatically".

I would not buy this product again and would rather spend more on a professional water tank used for hanging baskets in cities and parks.

The self watering containers are a big improvement over what I was using.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

The hanging basket has a unique watering scheme. It can be watered
from the top (using a sprinkling can). It can be watered from the bottom
hole (reservoir). Or it can be watered partially from the top, and finished off
from the bottom hole. It depends on the weather, and how dry the top surface is.
This is my third self-watering hanging basket, and the other two have been in use for several years.
They are real easy to maintain, as well as, easy to transplant new flowers as the seasons change.

I am a busy professional and don't have time for a lot of watering every day. my deck looks luscious and beautiful because of these containers.

I have always been pleased with the quality of the self-watering planters sold by Gardner's Supply and this one is up to the high standards. The plastic is not as attractive as ceramic, but neccessary for weight, and the color choices were nice and unobtrusive for plastic. I'm hoping my hanging fuschia will now grow big enough for camoflage! The only change I would have made would be to change the cord color from white to a dark color. Nice product.

These hanging pots are great. I purchased 5 pots in the early spring - along with the recommended amount of Self-Watering Container Mix. I hung the pots in the same area that I used to hang clay and regular plastic pots (to compare outcomes). I saw such a tremendous difference in the growth of my plants, that I ordered 4 more pots and Mix. Thanks!

This product saved my hanging plants. In past years I would lose hanging plants due to lack of watering. Now I don't have to worry about it. My hanging plants are lush and full this year. The only con is that the holder of the planter is made of rope. I had to replace the rope with the plastic holder of traditional hanging planters.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

It's been pretty hot the past few days, but I still expected more than two days from the reservoir - they were bone dry two days after I watered the plants well and filled the bottom - NOT in a location that gets sun all the time. I certainly couldn't leave them for more than 3-4 days at most. These are hanging plants off my front porch.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I ordered two of these since I've always had problems with keeping my metal/moss/coir fiber baskets from drying out. These do the job as advertised and they do it well. It is really easy to fill up the reservoir and it actually holds quite a bit. I don't have to worry about my hanging baskets anymore, I finally have success with them! Only negative is that they aren't super upscale pretty like you will find with the metal/moss/coir fiber decorative baskets, and the little plastic hooks keeping the rope attached look a little flimsy.

I use the self-watering hinging basket both inside my apartment and out on my balcony.
The thing that I like most about this basket is its design, its over all capacity, and the fact it is excellently stable. So when I go to water the plant the basket does not begin to spin like a similar basket will want to play,"Catch me if you can".
Of course, I wouldn't consider purchase my garden supplies from anywhere except from Gardener's Supply Company.

Since moving to SE North Carolina, 5 years ago, we knew we had to find a product for consistent watering of the flowers in planters. Since we had to have an irrigation system, we decided to purchase 4 window boxes for our porch rail. They have been great. In the southern style, we have hanging ferns in pots every year . This year we got smart and purchased the hanging planters for the ferns. They're great as well. We'd purchase this product again if we needed more planters.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I found the comments from the unhappy lady in IL to be very confusing she says she is a Avid Gardener. I can't believe she thought a small reservoir was going to hold her for 2 - 6 wks it will however hold for 4 days with no problem but the best feature of the basket is that it is watering form the bottom, and will stop damping off, which is caused by watering from the top. I have at least 75 of your baskets. Which fill 3 times a weak automatically.

The large hole for adding water also allows water to escape. I still have to ensure I water every other day, or else my petunias wilt. I don't think the pot construction does a good job in holding water or in keeping the plants' roots cool.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I love these hanging planters. I like that the hanging part is made from rope. My others with the plastic hanger would always break after several seasons of use. The pots are a nice size and keep the plants moist for days without having to worry about watering them. Use the selfwatering soil with these pots and you only have to water about once a week.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I either over water or under water my plants every year. This has really helped me. The self watering pot makes it so easy. I just fill the bottom of the pot and the plant stays moist!

 
So-so to ok

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I got this self-watering hanging basket in the Bronze color. The color is terrible! It truly detracts from the color of the blue flowers in the planter. It also makes the foliage look brown.

It does retain water at the bottom of the planter, but it isn't like any of the "true" self-watering containers I've used in the past.

I bought 3 of these hoping to keep my baskets watered this summer when I go on a week long vacation later this summer. It is only early June and I already see that I need to water my plants daily.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I bought these baskets to hang around my patio so the dogs would not eat my flowers. I loved that they were self-watering because my backyard is full sun and zero shade. The water chambers are rather small but I guess that is to be expected from a small hanging basket. They work well and my flowers look great. The finish is particularly good looking. When they first arrived I thought they would be worse because they are plastic and the hanging strings were partially glued to the inside water chamber cover. They were easily detached, however, and now look great around my patio.

Thrilled with appearance and ability to forget about planters for a few days at a time. A little awkward to fill the reservoir while they are hanging, but a minor inconvenience.

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I used the product for hanging baskets over my front flower bed. The strings were much too long which forced me to take them down (full and heavy), fix them and then try to put them up again. Difficutl when full because I sm short.

The resovoirs were surprisingly difficult to fill with a watering can...had to use the hose. The goal was to not have to pull the hose out!!

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

Hangs from a tree limb on my Hawthorne tree, and has a fern and petunias in it. Looks great, and seems to not have to be watered too often. I am taking a 5 day trip soon and expect to see it doing well when I return.

A Disappointment
By SheahasuVerified Reviewer from IL on 5/30/2009
Describe Yourself:
Avid Gardener

Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:

I have 4 of the self-watering window boxes that I absolutely love, so I was anxious to get these planters. I ordered 9, but actually only needed 3. I intended to send back the extra six, but will be returning all 9 instead. The accompanying sticker says it reduces the need to water for 2-6 weeks (a typo maybe? should it be days, not weeks?), which I didn't count on. However, I did expect that I would be able to reduce watering to once or twice a week. No such luck. I still have to water every day or at most every-other, no different than had I used a standard planter. I love my window boxes, but these just don't cut it.
