Lechuza 15683 Balconera Color 80 Self-Watering Planter for Indoor and Outdoor Use, 31" x 7" x7", Slate Matte

I needed two window boxes that were about 30" wide for the windows above my garage. 24" was too short and 36" was too wide. I had broken one of the ones I had had for years. Searching for the 30" size brought me to these amazing window boxes. Wow! Are they expensive? Yes. But whoever designed these knew what they were doing? The lift out inside trays, the little water gauge, the self-watering feature, the inclusion of the little stones, and the construction in general -- so well thought out. I didn't need the brackets, but if you do, they are not included. The box is still worth it. I applaud the design team! Thank you.

These planters are expensive and require a separate purchase for the hanging hardware but are clearly designed well. The planter has an insert for easy install and removal. Also there is a little gauge for measuring water level and comes with filler gravel appropriate for allowing water diffusion. The plastic is high quality and quite durable. Mine has withstood direct sunlight for several weeks now with no evidence of warping. My only gripes are the cost and my unplaced skepticism with the hanging hardware. (To be clear these hang quite securely to my amazement and in challenging conditions.) I'm impressed enough to order again.

Amazing, high quality product. WAY too expensive and I found this on several European web sites for about half the price (in Euros) but shipping brought it up to American prices so took the plunge. I bought 2 Classico 70s (27 inch diameter at top) for 2 small trees on my NYC balcony. I also have had a Classico 60 at my house in Florida for about 6 years which has a 10 foot tall Fiddle Fig growing on a porch. ( I have to cut it back periodically because it threatens to take over my porch.) Incredibly low maintenance, wipes clean, squirrels can't do any damage, though they try. I put liquid fertilizer in the reservoir once in a great while. I also have 3 Balconeras on my balcony at my NYC apartment with flowers that have thrived this summer with only a need to water them 1-2 times per week depending on the weather. (I do NOT have a green thumb!) The set-up instructions are a bit confusing initially, but we worked it out. There is a drain plug in the bottom of each pot which is red and can be removed with a screw driver. Leave the plug IN for indoor use (so water can't leak on floor if you over-fill) and take plug out for outdoor use so water CAN drain if reservoir becomes overfilled by, say, heavy rains.

The planter has exceeded all of my expectations. I am so enamored over these planters that I want to change out all of my planters and never use a traditional plant pot again. I have never used planters like this in my life and I have had plants, both indoor and outdoor almost my entire life! I love, love these planters. At first I was super skeptical and have now had my planters outside on the balcony and they are doing amazing. The plants are so, so happy and they are drinking the water and loving their new life. Now my husband is involved. He watches those level indicators and is always reminding me when they get low to water the plants. It is so funny. He just loves watching those indicators and reminding me it is time to water. In the past my husband never paid attention to the plants. I am really enjoying that. I have some beautiful planters which are a blend of sedums and herbs, which is so much fun! The plants are growing like crazy too! I am in Las Vegas so you can imagine how dry the containers can get. These planters are ideal.

I bought this for my front porch. It is a high quality material and easy to set up and water. The internal watering system and gauge is nice so you know how much to water and your plants don't get wilted. I did not use the planting material that came with it as I used this to plant vegetables. My peppers and nasturtium are doing great!

I wouldn't say this is the greatest value I've ever gotten for my money, but it's a good product. Very sturdy, well manufactured, good instructions, and most importantly, it works. The plants are growing great.

This planter is the perfect size for our herb garden. The self watering feature is awesome and I especially appreciate it when I’m on vacation or forget to water my plants. The planters do not look cheap - we purchased two of them.

I am so happy with my purchase. This is a beautiful and practical planter. Exactly what I was looking for.
