The Misco self watering planters are top of the line, their old design was even better, without the lip on the planter, I wish both designs were available, with these planters you can water and the plants will be ok for about 4 days, the roots love the ventilation design, I have been using these planters for years, they are durable and strong, this is a product I will strongly recommend, great product.

This is quite possibly my favorite planter. The durable plastic makes for less watering (great for trips) and allows for lightweight moving. The reservoir, my favorite part of the planter, is attached giving the planter a clean look and allows for excellent aeration and watering. Wished Misco made more of these planters in various colors/styles.

Bought my first Misco planter @ Walmart, but when I went back for another, they weren't carrying them. I went directly to Amazon and found the planter. The planter is attractive, heavy duty, and has a clever watering opening at the base. Inside, the base has a raised, slotted bottom which allows proper drainage and aeration. Well designed, well made, I am very happy with it and will buy another without hesitation.

I love this pot. It has alot to do with my desk plant growing so big. It's gone through three sizes already. The reservoir was a great idea so I don't have to worry about over watering or under watering.

I'm so glad to have found these containers. They work WONDERFULLY; right now I have tomatoes in some. The tomatoes are mulched and even when it's sunny outside I only have to refill the water every three to four days, and every five to six days when it's been cloudier, and the soil is moist all the way to the top! These pots also make it very easy to water and fertilize from the bottom so the leaves do not get wet. I was glad to find these because they wick water directly, instead of relying on a cloth wick which doesn't tend to work well. They don't leak at all except from the large drainage hole, which you *want* it to drain from; it rained a ton here in SoCal recently, which was unusual, but the soil in these remained at the perfect level of moisture since the excess water just drained out.

The price is good, too (we have prime so we get free shipping); we made a few self-watering containers ourselves and the materials costed about as much, they didn't work quite as well as these, and the fun of making one wore off after the first one. Now I would only bother to make my own if I needed a very large one.

I keep these permanently on my wish list and plan to buy many more sizes, plus the self-watering window boxes.

I have an order for Petunias for the summer months. In the past, I have been terrible about keeping new plants watered. This will be perfect by having the area for extra water. It also comes in handy if I go out of town.

The planter that I ordered is a very small one. Because of its small size, it is hard to find a cup small enough to be able to the water the plant as directed.

I have this & had to give it to a friend. They really soak up a lot!
