HBServices USA 8" Self Aerating + Self Watering High Drainage Deep Reservoir Round Planter Pot Maintains Healthy Roots, for Indoor & Outdoor & Windowsill Gardens (Black)

I got the 8"; pot for a fig tree and it seems to be doing well. I think the air vents and the fact that the pot is raised on the saucer help the roots get aerated. I do not think it works well for bringing up water however.• It is ridiculously OVERPRICED - the pot is made out of that plastic that's hard and shiny so bit on the cheap side. It can break pretty easily and or get scratched/scuffed. I'm hiding mine inside a metal pot but it's probably OK to use as a standalone albeit it's a tad cheap looking. There are many other better looking plastic finishes available on Amazon• The saucer is pretty generously sized so you can water the plant properly either with the lip or from the top. I don't like the lip however it looks terrible• Recently discovered Rugg Manufacturing CAP planters and the Genenic that are priced much more cheaply than these and better lookingHeight of the planter (incl saucer) is 7 1/8"Diameter at the top of the pot is 8" exactly at widest pointBase of the saucer is 6 1/2" wide and top diameter is 7" wideSaucer height is 1 1/4"Suggestions- Use better plastic for the pots- Pots should be taller, they are a bit short even with saucer

I have sadly killed a ridiculous amount of plants in my time (I'm 64). When my Dad passed I took one of the plants hoping I could keep it alive. I bought the 1st one of these planters because of the little spout ... I bought 5 more of them because it kept my Dad's plant alive for 9 yrs and the plants from my Daughter's passing for over a year. As long as you keep water in the bottom even someone with a black thumb as mine can have crazy healthy plants.

I thought my Christmas Cactus was done for but when I transplanted my cactus in this planter my cactus started smiling and growing .

These pots are great! I'm currently using one for my tomato plants, and I have the other prepped for my basil plants when they are ready to be repotted. I really like the more subtle color options, and plenty of them fit my own person aesthetics. They also have a great drainage collector that snaps into place with the pots feet. The feet are hollow, so I was even able to nuzzle some supports into them for my tomato plants. They've held together real well so far, and don't bend or warp when I pick them up. The only thing that I would say could be improved upon is the drainage slits at the bottom. They're all pretty long, making it hard to pack loose soil at the bottom without a significant portion of said soil falling through, so you'll need to put some pebbles or some wood chips at the very bottom of your planter in order to make these things effective. Other than that, I really do think that these are the best compromise between form and function.

I repotted a plant that had been stagnant for a long time. After a while in this self watering pot it took off and is now doubled in size. I recently bought two 6" self watering pots for two other plants.
