Self watering easyplant Planters
Would love feedback on these planters as theyre made out of plastic and dont have drainage holes. www.easyplant.com I need to repot my swiss cheese plant and my philodendron billietiae. Is the pot okay for these plants or is it better for one of these in particular? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #selfwateringplanter #easyplant #MonsteraAdonsonii #SwissCheeseVine #swisscheese #SwissCheesePlant #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraAdansonii #monsteraswisscheesevine #Monsteramadness #PhilodendronBillietiae #Philodendron #philodendro repotting">#repotting #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers #Greggers #helpneeded #theamigos #TipsandTricks #hacks #help

@Frebs I think these pots work when you have the right TYPE of plant in the pot. Plants that like to be damp consistently, they do well. I had a baby tears plant that I lost because I couldn’t keep it wet enough. I got a new plant and put it in a self watering pot and it’s living its best life and has tripled in size. But a plant that likes and needs to dry out between waterings won’t do well in these types of pots.
@Lifeis2short have to agree. I lost more than a couple in these so it really depends on the plant. I wouldn't personally with those two.
@Tidydad I have been considering buying some of these pots but I don’t know what kind of maintenance goes in to having self watering pots. If you don’t mind me asking, how often do you have to clean the water reservoir? Does it have any algae or mosquito problems with the water always being in the pot?
@OrangeGrass a plant I took in from the street was on it so I dont know anything about the maintenance. I repotted the plant bc it was not meant to be in a plastic container.
I agree it depends on the plant. As an aroid-lover, I will not put my philodendrons or monsteras in these pots. I learned the hard way to. But my polka dot plant loves it. You just need to use it for plants that have to stay wet all the time. I did have an easy plant given to me as a gift - my raven zz but I repotted him. I haven’t repurposed the pot yet.
I have seen more negative reviews on self watering and agree with @TheOddAsity
I don't have any self watering.mine all have good drainage holes to avoid root rot
