Dexceder 9x8 Self Watering Planter (Red High Gloss)

I felt this flower pot was overpriced but I needed a better self watering pot for a Calathea that was not thriving and was in a bad leaking pot. Within 24 hours, its leaves were standing up again! This pot is designed very well. I didn’t see another pot designed like this. I love the water from the top feature with the little monitor to tell you if you need to add water. The inner pot stands on four legs that allow water to enter. The water gauge will keep you from adding too much water and making the soil on the bottom soggy.

The actual pot looks just like the listing. Very well designed and produced. The material is very solid and surprisingly heavy. Someone could easily mistake it for a ceramic pot. The components fit together well. The self watering insert has a drain plug which can be removed if you’re using the pot outdoors. The clever part is that the self watering reservoir still works even with the drain plug open. Not sure how well the “wheels” will work once the pot is full and heavier. I ordered the 18x17 for my hibiscus tree. Even though the size is correct, it seems a little bigger than I had pictured. (just an optical illusion I’m sure) Note: The camera lenses make it look like it tapers at the bottom more than it really does. So it will actually be more stable than it looks in the photos.

Love these planters. The self watering feature works and keeps my plants beautiful.

Bigger than I wanted - but it worked out perfectly to put two plants of the same kind into the same pot. It kind of made me want another one because I love it THAT much!

Smaller than expected

I never knew for sure if I was under watering or over watering my plants.But ever sense I have bought myself self watering planters and also come in numerous sizes. I do not have to worry about how much water to give or not to give my plants.All you have to do is put the correct soil in the planter. In one of my planters I have an African violet which I could never get to blossom. But sense I only use the self watering planters my purple violet is full of buds and has three blossoms on it also.This is the first time I have ever gotten them to blossom.So after placing the correct soil in my planter along with your plant, plus I give it African violet plant food. The correct soil makes a big difference. Then all you have to do is pour water in the one corner until a little straw starts to rise. When it reaches to top of the tiny dome in the one corner of a self watering planter. That’s it. Then when the straw drops down to the bottom of the tiny dome all you do it pour more water in it until the tiny straw reaches the top again. I think it lasts at least a week or maybe more before you have to put water back in it again.I have never You never have to water from the top. But I do use a two light growing lights over it because especially in our winters in Wi the sun does not shine any where as much as we would like. So for this reason it is best to put grow lights over your plant and in summer a bright sun light can burn the African violet leaves.For African violets I put a little coffee grounds on the top of the soil because coffee grounds are acidic and African violets like an acidity soil.So especially for people that can never grow anything try these self watering planters. For me it’s made a world of difference to whether my plants do poorly or great. Good luck! They truly are worth the money.

I ordered 2 of these. They were quite expensive but the reviews were great. Within 3 months, one of the interior pots cracked already into many pieces of plastic, making it now just a large, giant expensive pot without drainage.

Well made! Easy to assemble! I have been in the interior plant business for over 30 years and used subirrigation containers from ASI and I think this container and sub-irrigation system is wonderful!

Soooo handy, I am NOT a green thumb, so I forget to water my plant, and this pot reminds me. Great size for my beautiful water lily.

These are AWESOME planters. They are plastic but they are quite lovely. I have 2. I use them for plants that need daily or frequent watering like hydrangeas.

A bit expensive but quality is good.

Good quality for the price, really like the look of it, will be great for my plant.
