Each pot holds 7 quarts of soil; the 1-quart reservoir is easy to fill through the side port. Made from 100% recycled, UV-stable plastic so color won't fade.

  • Choice of three eye-catching bright colors
  • Colors won't fade
  • Quantities of these value-priced pots are limited

Just received them but previous self-watering pots I've used outdoors have been marvelous. I expect these to be the same. Once I actually have experience I will then upgrade to a 5 which is probably where they ought to be ranked. I am buying more!

Comments about Colorful Pot:

This is an attractive, reasonable-priced (on sale) self-watering pot. The matte finish is not too "plastic" looking, and the color is lovely. It seems quite sturdy and will probably last a long time. The only reason I don't give it the full five stars is that the hole for adding water to the reservoir is an oblong shape instead of round, making it sometimes difficult to fit the pliable plastic cover back on unless you position it just right. It appears that it would have been easier if the hole and cover were round.

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I ordered half a dozen for container gardening on my deck, and liked them so much I ordered another half dozen. The pots are light and easy to move around, hold lots of water, and are perfect for the tropicals I grow to make the long Illinois winters bearable. My plants grow well in them; I wish they were also available in a larger size.

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I love using primary colors in my cottage style house and garden. These pots fit the bill by adding splashes of color even when you are using evergreens or mostly green plants. I love the way the saucer is made to catch and maintain the moisture inside the pot. This works well for our hot and sometimes dry summers in Tennessee.

Colorful Self-Watering Pots

Pros:
Attractive Design
Best Uses:
Outdoor Plants
Describe Yourself:
Avid Gardener
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I ordered these on-sale for next spring. I like the colors and am gradually replacing all my conventional pots and planter with self-watering styles because we are frequently away from home for long weekends. Access to the water reservoir chamber seems awkward. It is not a pitcher-type lip like on my favorite self-watering pot but a hose-sized hole on the side with a removable plastic stopper. I will probably lose the stoppers first thing when I begin using these pots outdoors. They would be very hard to fill indoors.

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I bought red and blue pots. I put a small tomato plant in the red one; it grew faster and the tomatoes ripened more quickly than in the previous weeks. The red color may have encouraged it and the self watering feature definitely helps to keep the moisture level regulated esp. in the drought we are experiencing.

The flower in the blue pot is also doing well but not as dramatically as the red pot.

Only thing wrong with this pot is the fact that it is difficult to see when the reservoir is getting full. I wish it had the little cup to pour the water into so one can see when the water level is getting full. I have run it over several times. It is a good smaller self watering container for my indoor veggie garden in the sunroom. I grow small tomatoes in it along with a few water loving herbs and greens.

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I bought this to use outside. The "Window Plug" is higher than it should be to allow heavy rain to get out. As a result, if you don't tip it over after thunderstorms, the roots rot. I got it for 1/2 off at end of season so I could deal with this. I would have been quite unhappy had I paid full price. The Green color is not the light green shown in the catalogue or on the internet but a Kelly Green that looks really cheap. The blue is a good strong blue and looks good. I didn't buy the red ones.

Comments about Colorful Pot:

We've had lots of rain lately and this beautiful pot never drains. As a result, I find myself tipping it over to let the water out so the roots don't rot. It should be designed like the hanging basket so that there's a place for the overflow to go.

Suprise Colorful Plastic Pot

Pros:
Drains Well
Cons:
Flimsy
Best Uses:
Outdoor Plants
Describe Yourself:
Avid Gardener
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Colorful Pot:

When I received my order,I was suprised at the lack of quality. I ordered five blue pots, and they are flimsy and cheap-looking. I will use them as outdoor planters because they are made with a drainage shelf inside, but they surely won't be any kind of centerpiece container.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Colorful Pot:

I am using the pots for my petunias outdoors. With any type of heavy rain, it is easy to pop the plastic "water windows" off to drain excess water from the pot. However, when reattaching the window back to one of the pots, the window did not just snap back. It somehow popped thru the hole and is now floating in the water reserve. Hopefully, I'll be able to fish it out sometime!
