T4U 5.5 Inch Self Watering Plastic Planter with Water Level Indicator Pack of 6 - Grey, Modern Decorative Planter Flower Pot for House Plants, Herbs, Aloe, African Violets, Succulents and More

They were actually beautiful i had to send them back because they were too small dor my project so bad they don’t make them bigger

Really nice for African violets.

While plastic, this is a matte dark grey that doesn’t look out of place. It’s 5” square though only 3.5” deep due to the water reservoir space. Getting a 6 pack this is a great value and the material seems to be high quality. Having the visible water level is huge, watering will now be as easy as topping up without having to carry plants back & forth to the sink to drain, much faster and requiring less energy.Note these use the same watering mechanism as Lechuza planters, though it doesn’t come with pon for the bottom layer as those do. My other self watering planters use the wick method so that is an added step/expense. There are DIY pon recipes if you google, though absorbent things like pumice or vermiculite might work fine alone. I’ll be using these to upsize plants already in hydroponic medium leca & pon.

Dupe appears to work. The inside is black instead of white so has a different aesthetic than the original (I liked the white a bit better). Off the bat there is a usability issue: the black plastic insert is also very slippery and makes it particularly difficult to lift pon and the plant, compared to the original white shiny plastic which sticks to your finger and is easy to lift. I used some sandpaper to rough up the inside a bit so my wet thumb could stick better - not too noticible but it now is a little lighter where I roughed up the corner surface if the insert. The bottom plastic insert is made a little differently as well with 4 legs that that reach to the bottom so provide a path for potential roots growing directly into the water - none of the holes are big enough for any size of the rope wicks you may purchase separately. For this I used a 1/8 drill bit to make some holes in various locations to thread a rope wick up. Some plants won't need it as they will grow roots down rapidly, but some will not and the wicks are necessary, so minus one point for not having a wick option. Finally the water meter appears to work, but is not cut down perfectly to the right size (a bit too long, it touches the bottom of the pot and 'stands up' on it's own not to be contiguous with the insert by a few millimeters). The original is perfectly engineered in comparison (but crazily priced IMHO), so this dup is sufficient if you have a lot of plants and feel comfortable to tinker with them.

These are stylish and the area for plant is generous as compared to many other self watering pots I’ve used. They are still new to me so I can’t yet comment on water level gauge reliability but I did test each one to ensure float worked out of the box and they all did.The grey is semi matte finish with rounded corners and it looks nice and unobtrusive.In my experience with similar designs the feet on bottom of insert should protect plant roots from too much moisture and the roots who find their way through will adapt to water on demand.I am using with straight pon substrate.An excellent value for lightweight, stylish pots with the important features.

I use these pots for Venus flytraps, I'm currently using over 25 of these pots at different sizes. EXCELLENT robust quality and the water meter is a nice addition. I love being able to water my plants directly from the watering corner of the pots. Absolutely my favorite pots. And they're sleek and are photogenic for photos of your plants. Great pots. I've been telling many people about them

These were the best priced ones I could find with a decent quantity, so I was a little nervous that they were going to be subpar. But they definitely are not! They came with no directions, so it was a bit confusing to put the water level trackers together at first, but not extremely difficult. Quick shipping and perfect size as well. Will definitely be ordering again!

You will need to assemble the moisture meter, and even though it was super easy to assemble, it's a little flimsy. I "think" I got it right, but the way it sits inside the holder does not look very sturdy. However, I will say that overall functionality works great, and plants are growing like crazy!

Je vraiment recommande!

These pots are on the small side (4 to 5”) but they are great little self watering pots. They’re sturdy. The inner liner can be lifted out for cleaning. Water float works well to show you how much water is in the basin. They are attractive and look good on a table or ledge. I use them with Lechuza pon as the substrate and my plants do very well. I’ve ordered the larger pots in the past and like them just as much. These pots are a good alternative to the much more expensive Lechuza pots. I recommend this product.

Very good product! Easy to clean, simple and sturdy.

It very good products just be sure to understand that the waters level option you need to take the white plastic out of the tube then put it backThat it

This is perfect for herbs. Also planted seedlings. It doesn't take up much space. I will order more.
