LechuzaSelf Watering Plant Pot Classico 35 LS Garden Flower Indoor Outdoor Floor Plastic Planter with Drainage Hole D35 H33 cm White High-Gloss

1 pot was boxed and contained all parts. 2 pots werewrapped in brown paper. The pots in brown paper did not have the long grey tubes nor did they have the red straws normall connected to them

Works as intended. The inner layer is removable for cleaning.Instructions called for traditionally watering for a couple of weeks. Depending on the plant type and soil you used. The roots need time to find their way to the bottom. My soil seemed to transfer moisture to the surface immediately so I skipped that and was fine.

Replanted hibiscus tree. Love this planter for the looks and functionality!

This item does not contain items like the tube that connects the bottom reservoir to the top.

Love the build quality. hate the price

Excellent product love it

Best product I have used in awhile, my plants are SO happy!

A nice gloss soft red. The inner red ring of the planter is red as well, and functions as a handle to lift the inner black bucket out from the red outside. The planter is easy to assemble. I do recommend to order a separate bucket of Lechuza Gritty Mix. There is a little bit in the package. But only sufficient to cover the bottom of the planter.The self-watering system means you need to give plants some time to grow roots into the water reservoir. This can take up to 6 to 8 weeks. Once you've managed, you won't have to worry about your plant anymore, and they will stay alive!!My process is as follows. After receiving the planter, I go and look for the plants I want in the planter. Having received the planter, I now can assess the space available for the plants to go in them. Visit the garden center for what you like.I have ordered additional gritty mix for the planter. What does this mean? The planter is provided with a gritty mix of ceramic pellets/stones making a drained bottom. I like to have the plants covered in the gritty mix, so I have ordered additional mix. This will cover the plants completely and makes a nice presentation.Once you have made your choice of plants, bring them home and remove the plastic pot. I try to remove as much soil as I can to remain with almost roots only.I pour the gritty mix into the bottom of the planter to create a 2/3 cm-1inch layer of drainage. At this point, you might want to ask someone to help you. Trying to hold your plant in the airy void in the planter, while adding gritty mix isn't a two-hand job.With some help, you will manage to cover the roots with gritty mix and have your plant nicely settled in the new substrate.At his point, you will put the inner pot back into the outer and will water the plant for the first time. This will be from above. So as you are used to water plants. You will have to do this for about 6-8 weeks. This will allow the roots to find their way to the water reservoir.After the initial watering period of 6-8 weeks, you'll only water the plants by refilling the water reservoir in the bottom of the planter. You can do this through a dedicated watering access to the side of the inner planter. There is a reservoir level indicator showing the level. That will give you an indication of the water level, making it possible to fill it to the max for approx 6 weeks of carefree growing.A bit of effort and dedication for 6-8 weeks, will leave you with plants staying alive and thriving.Recommended!

At first this pot looked exactly what I needed to re pot a really well looked after large plant which needed more room to spread out. I was interested in the watering system etc as I thought "intelligent watering system" may cancel the need for constant daily vigilance.Unfortunately, things are not as easy as they seem once you get down to the proper instructions. I won't bore you, but it involves watering as normal after re-potting your plant, then waiting about 12 weeks for the plant to "settle in", this means a diary entry to remind you. No using the spout yet, just water as normal. Then, maybe it'll be ok after 3 months to begin the inbuilt spout watering, BUT then it has to "dry" out for a period,so it's back to adiary. Honestly I wouldn't have bothered and certainly wouldn't have more than one pot on the go at the same time ...life's too short.Nice colour though.

Lechuza Premium Classico 28cm High Gloss White Self Watering Traditional Round Planter Pot it's a nice looking pot.check your pot size before you buy this. I have a 25cm wide pot that I wanted to transfer in and the lining is so high that after putting it in, the roots stick out probably 3" higher than the top of the pot - so this really is for tiny pots if you're transplanting. it's short and wide rather than a traditional pot size. also, make sure you've got extra potting mix as it's so wide that you will need more. The measurements on the listing are hard to read but do check as you'll be surprised how shallow this is - with the watering base and the pearlite that needs to go on the bottom you lose probably 4ish inches in the height.I also bought the 35cm for another plant which I'll now use for this one but I'm left with a pot without a plant and a plant without a pot. :( Lechuza Premium Classico 28cm High Gloss White Self Watering Traditional Round Planter Pot

After seven years, my much-loved amaryllis needed to be repotted again this spring, and needed an unusually large pot for an indoor plant. This Lechuza product was a good solution. What I like most is that it looks like a fine ceramic pot, but is a fraction of the weight, and easy to move around. The instruction to water from the top for several weeks were a surprise and a disappointment, and I've yet to try the self-watering system. Perhaps that will come into its own next year. Meanwhile, the amaryllis looks blooming happy.

Having purchased many of their pots before I was a little underwhelmed by this “premium” model. It does weird well, it has all the right parts and it makes looking after your plants easier (as all their products do). But details are missing like the fact that the water refill hole is always open on this, and the water level indicator doesn’t clip into anything so it wobbles. Their other pots (the ones not called premium) feel sturdier and like they’ve had more attention to detail paid to them. It’s still a great plant pot. But I’d suggest stick to their standard range really.
