- How does the self-watering system work?
- Each pot has a reservoir below the soil that holds water, and the plant draws it up through the base. You refill the reservoir instead of watering from the top every time.
- What sizes are in the set?
- The 18 pots come in 6.5-inch, 5-inch and 4-inch sizes. The exact split between sizes is not stated, so check the listing before buying if you need a specific count of each.
- Can these pots be used outdoors?
- Yes, they are listed for indoor and outdoor use, including a balcony. Clear plastic can degrade in strong direct sun over time, so a shaded spot lasts longer.
- Why does algae grow in the reservoir?
- Light passing through the clear plastic and standing water encourage algae. Emptying and rinsing the reservoir regularly, or covering the clear sides, keeps it in check.
- Do they have drainage holes?
- Self-watering pots typically have a wick or slot rather than open drainage holes, since water is drawn from the reservoir. Check the listing for the exact base design before buying.
- Is this set a good value for 18 pots?
- Self-watering pots usually cost more per pot than plain nursery pots, and this set spreads the cost across 18. Only one store lists the set new, so compare against plain nursery pots if value is the main concern.
