Q: How do you take the bottom tray off in order to clean it? And how do you thread the wick through the holes for the self-watering system to work without waterlogging the soil?
submitted by Mark - 2 years ago
A: Hello Mark - We appreciate your interest in this Self-Watering Window Rectangular Indoor/Outdoor Planter Box.The planter's bottom tray can be easily detached. There are slits in the upper portion, so if you remove the bottom portion to water the plant, the water will seep down through the dirt and out the bottom. As a result, we do not recommend removing the bottom part of the planter.
This planter, with its clever and convenient design that waters plant roots from the bottom, helps take the guesswork out of watering by simply filling the reservoir in the bottom for plants to absorb from above. – Peter

A: We drilled drainage holes in bottom and placed the planters in wooden boxes made to fit. We had no drainage issues.
submitted byMrsmac111 - 1 year ago
A: I've only used these for one season but had no problem with drainage after it rained. Ours sit in boxes attached to a privacy fence. I grew 5 different flower varieties last year & all looked great!
submitted byMrsmac111 - 1 year ago
A: I’ve asked similar questions with no response. These boxes are terrible for outside. If it rains, it won’t drain and your plants will be water sogged. I have had these for two summers and each summer my plants have died from too much water, root rot.

Q: How can you attach this planter to the outside of window? I see some photos that customers placed outdoors, out of their windows or home.
submitted by Mags - 2 years ago
A: We built wooden boxes to spec that hold each planter box & attached the boxes to a wooden horizontal fence with a wooden turnlock so they hang on the fence in between the boards. Works great!

A: Hi Mags - Thank you for your interest in the Self-Watering Window Rectangular Indoor Outdoor Planter Box. You can place the Box on window sill for a beautiful home garden. Happy shopping! - Emma

Great planter for bottom watering
Love this planter. I have a couple self watering pots from target that aren’t my favorite but this one actually works great. It worked perfectly for my strawberry’s and I love that I can bottom water them to avoid the leaves getting too wet!

terrible delivery
The white pot I ordered online for indoor use came with only a shipping sticker on the main body without a box package or a plastic bag. The white pot got dirty everywhere, so I wonder if I bought a used one.

Flower boxes
I use the white and black planters to line my fence with flowers all summer long. They were great last year, and after winter storage easy to clean up and get ready for this year.
