TABOR TOOLS VEN303 Plastic Planter Bowl, Garden Bowl with Attached Drainage Tray, for Indoor and Outdoor Use, Round Ø 12 Inch (Color: Black)

I bought this pot for a bunch of succulents I wanted to pot together. I am about to do this and think this pot is just about perfect. I like the natural color and the size -- also it is lightweight. Have no idea how well it will hold up in the long run but so far so good!! Oh yes, the price was good as well.

Love: it's light and that means a lot for me since it's hard to pick up anything. My plants love this style and seem to do very well in these pots for some reason even better that the expensive clay ones I have. This looks really nice, too. Great price.

I have purchased two planters from this seller, one an embossed flower box, and now this 12 inch bowl. They are good sturdy plastic with a very good functional drainage tray on the bottom. They seem to hold and set off the plants very nicely. I knocked off one star for the inaccuracy of the colors. Many times with an item like this, having a certain color is one of the big selling points. Both products that I purchased arrived in a fairly different or darker color than they were pictured and described. The flower box was listed as Grey and pictured as Grey, when I opened the box it was dark Taupe. The bowl was listed as pastel blue( a rare find when it comes to color in these products!) turned out to be like a medium blue green. Also, the measurements of these items tend to run smaller than described. I used a measuring tape on both, they run about an inch smaller than described on the dimensions. Whatever, it's just two plastic planters, I can live with it! But when you purchase such things on Amazon, and you are buying the product sight unseen, the pictures and descriptions are all you have to go on. They should be accurate so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

The measurements were right on which has been problematic for me with others. Would have liked a little deeper shade on blue otherwise good consistent coloring. I think it will be durable and last a few years. Plan to purchase more of these.

Cut the bottom right off... But I do that with most pots. It's hot mostly here Zone 8-11 and plants drink big... I have a few clay pots like this but couldn't find any plastic pots as shallow as this here... The plant needed lots of water but has short roots this was the thing that fit. Only a inch taller but 2X as wide for room to grow out some.

This pot looks like it does in the picture, EXCEPT the pot is not a true black in color. I would describe this pot as being more dark gray. When I put it next to my other black pots, it is very obviously not true black in color like the picture suggests.

Sometimes only plastic will do. And these do their job great. I wish I had gotten a different color only because when I moved all the planters in for the winter, it would have been nice to have more of a pop of color. But I had chosen red, which I still like, the table looks very "earthy". In the photo it is the large round planter with succulents in it. I took the clay color planter they were in and just put the whole thing inside of the red one instead of transplanting. Now, I'll still have the red planter for new plants next summer!

Even though is a little pricey for my taste I’m very please with this planter. I want it for African violets that I haven’t bought yet.
