The Wet Pot System may just be my savior. I really don’t have much of a green thumb, so having this option is extremely helpful to me. Actually, it boosts my self esteem to think I can actually keep a plant alive for more then a week! Here is how they describe their system: “The supply of water is regulated by the unique, natural characteristics of clay for water absorption, which is controlled by a specially formulate glaze, which partially covers the clay pot. The plant draws the water it needs through the pot.”

Bought myself a few pots a few months ago. And my verdict? Avoid it! Yes, it does look pleasing to the eye, doesn’t it? But then you take it home and the fun starts. Unless you are prepared to search for hours for specific plants that like their roots wet, and I mean wet, ALL the time, you will easily drown your plants. So the claimed “natural” way of looking after your plants is no so natural anymore. Standing water is next fun thing, so unless you want green water in the bowl, don’t let your plants see the light of day. And lastly, so the water gets sucked up through the pot but it also evaporates, so be prepared to wash the outer glass pot at least every 3 weeks, otherwise you might get a visit from Kim and co. Take the time to look around, there are many other self watering pots for cheaper, and with less effort. And your plants might just survive… Wish I did…

These are perfect for the overflow that happens when watering houseplants. Plants aren’t meant to sit in the amount of water in the advertising photos. That’s just for looks. Realistically, these would just have an inch or two of water that had overflowed.

Home is where the heart is. The memories of our formative years are attached with home. We all have a certain degree of yearning for home. That’s why we love home decors as much as we love home….

Actually, I DO fill my glass jar as the photos show and my plants seem perfectly happy.
I never put water directly on the soil. The soil is covered with a layer of white pebbles, so perhaps that alleviates the evaporation problem.
I travel extensively and they’ve survived just fine for 7 weeks without attention, slowly absorbing the water. After that delay, I returned and there was about 1/2 inch left.

I have used my wet pots for years and love them. For reference, I am gone from our home in Colo. for 2 -3 weeks at a time and I have Geraniums, ivy and kolanchas (sp?) in an east sunny window. They are empty or almost empty when I return. Yes, I do clean the algae off when I return, and refill, but that is all. I add a liquid fertilizer to the water every other time. Bottom line, my plants do great and bloom inside which I love to come home to.
Plants take the water they need. If your plants are too wet, it may be due to their position to the sun….maybe not enough to evaporate moisture? Not sure, but I hate to see a great product get a negative review. I am actually searching to buy another one which is why I came to this site.
