Apollo Exports International AP-WT002 Wall Mounted Flower Tower, 2-feet

I do not write reviews but I decided to do this for this product because I really relied and used many of the reviews posted to make my final decision in buying this and I’m very happy with it. Assembly was very easy and there is a review included that explained very well how to fill it using masking tape over all the holes and it was EXTREMELY helpful. It was still messy but not nearly what it would have been without the tape. I included pictures of what it looked like initially when I planted the inpatients and then what it looked like a little over a month later. The only thing that I wish was different is that it took a month to fill in like that so if I use it again next year I would plant the flowers a little earlier then the start of June. It’s a great project and something I always wanted to try. I’m thinking of getting another one for next year to put on the other side of my porch! I’m really happy with it!

Got it assembled pretty quickly, I did not think it was difficult like other reviews it does take quite a bit of soil but honestly that was expected. We used inpatients so can’t wait to see what it looks like later in summer. I did reinforce the back with duck tape just to be safe

I actually purchased this product several years ago, it was great and was able to re-use it for three years before the plastic buckled and caused the tower to lean to the point it wouldn’t stand unsupported. I recently ordered two new towers. It was notable when opening the package that the quality of the plastic had changed, it is now much thinner. I planted both towers as instructed (I am very familiar with how to properly plant in this tower) and both towers buckled. One buckled, toppled over and ruined my plants, it would not stand on it’s own. I had to throw it away. The second tower leans and probably won’t last the summer season. I believe this is another example of corperate greed, using the cheapest material to make more money....make it cheap so it doesn’t last then they will buy it again. This is no longer a quality product, I would recommend saving your money and buying something that will last, at these a couple of seasons.

This was so easy to assemble and didn’t need much soil. It was easy to get the flowers in as well. Just fill with soil until you get to the opening for the flowers insert them and repeat until you get to the top.

From previous reviews I read that it was difficult to fill and / load the plants. Here's a tip : Assemble the planter, then take duct tape and cover the holes ( all of them ) ,,, then fill to the top. As you work from bottom to top, remove the duct tape from the row you are planting. Naturally this will hold the soil in place so it doesn't spill out as you fill it. Also,, do use planting gravel as drainage in the bottom as per instructions - it will keep the bottom row from molding the roots in that section. To water I just let my lawn sprinkler hit it for a good couple minutes ever other day or so and rotate the planter occasionally. Depending on what you plant it will require full on sun - a lot of it,, I used petunias so that was a good choice. As for moving it from place to place, well it's not meant to be moved. If you must relocate it obviously pick it up with one hand under the base - to me that just seemed like common sense and you'll have no trouble. All in all it's filling in nicely and is an attractive unique product. Take your time with it and it will look great. buy it!

No matter what I did the photo is not right side up! This product was not as easy as the video because it was not flat like in the video, it had fold lines so I had to wrestle it. The tabs were a bit tough too. It takes a lot of potting soil. Between the soil and the water weight, mine has collapsed at the lowest level so it is crooked now. I’m trying to tie it up to the column on my front porch. Also, you need to rotate this so each area gets the same amount of sun. So I put an old Rubbermaid turntable under it for ease of turning. It is super heavy when wet. So disappointed! I’d really like a refund, but can’t return at this point.

This is my 3rd Tower. Breathtaking when plants bloom. Love it

Add small amounts of dirt and the flowers as you work your way up the tower. The problem is that it buckled about a 1/3 of the way up. I was able to save what I had and it worked but not sturdy enough.
