T4U 8 Inch Self Watering Pots for Indoor Plants, 2 Pack Plant Pots, Durable Plastic Self Watering Planter for Indoor Plants (2 Pack, 8", White)

These planter pots arrived in pristine, new condition with all of the expected components included. I wanted to mention this because a few reviewers had said they received dirty or used looking pots, cracked items, or some pieces missing from their orders. I received 6 brand new items with both inner and outer pots, and all 6 of the watering strings included. I'm very particular about the items I display in my home. I had admired these pots online for a while but wasn't sure if they'd look as good in person. I wanted the lighter weight that plastic offers over ceramic, but nobody wants to put their pretty plants in cheap looking pots to be displayed around their home. Anyway, my African Violets were finally in desperate need of repotting so after a year of looking at these, I decided to order. These planters look great in person! I'm so happy with their appearance and quite pleased to display them in my home. Though they are lightweight plastic, they look anything but cheap. They have a substantial look and a nice finish to them, and when the inner pot sits in the outer pot, they become very sturdy and rigid. They start out extremely lightweight so that by the time you add soil, plants, and water, they are still so easy to lift and move around, and it's easy to add water to the outer pots as needed for plants like African Violets that do better when watered from the bottom. Some reviewers commented that the slits on the inner pots weren't fully punched out. I'm not sure, but this may be so that you can choose just how many slits you want to utilize in order to customize the amount of drainage to your liking. I found it quite easy to push the slits all the way open with just the edge of my fingernail, with no damage to my fingernail. The cuts for the slits are already in place but how many of the slits you open is up to you. The two round holes on the bottom to run the watering strings through come fully punched out and open. I chose the 4.5" pots in the white color option and they are a pure, clean, bright white. I find them very pretty. I knew before ordering that I would use these pots without their watering strings. Because I like to let my African Violets dry out between waterings, I simply add water to the outer pots as needed letting my violets have a good drink, and then I empty the excess water out when done. This is the method I always use for watering my African Violets and I was so pleased that these new pots would allow me to easily continue with that method. This set of 6 pots is so good looking and is a steal for the price. Though I really love the classic white color I chose, I may order a set in the hydrangea blue color next. These pots are a great value. Unless you select the wrong size, I don't think you can go wrong by ordering these. They really upgraded the look of my plants.

I purchased these 18 months ago and have been very happy with them.The self watering feature works well and has saved my plants when I have not returned home at the planned time.I have found them to be very sturdy with no problems of cracking. They work well with many different kinds of plants.

One came cracked but it didn't effect the function of the product. They look nice and they work really well. I love sub irrigation. It keeps the gnats away.

Nice and sturdy, perfect size I needed for the 6inch pots

They’re great. Just enough flex to easily manipulate plant and soil when needed. Great self watering feature. Super value.

I want to keep these but one arrived very cracked and I can’t just get that one replaced. They are lightweight and look nice. Why did you pick this product vs others?:

Light yet sturdy. Love the self watering rope.

Flimsy as others have stated, but its 6 planters for cheap so I'm not complaining. They even come with 6 pieces of absorbent rope to help wick water into the interior pot.Probably wouldn't buy again, but I'm satisfied with my purchase.
