Mainstays 11 in. Beige Resin Self-Watering Planter

I bought this self-watering planter specifically to repot my mint plant from Home Depot. My mint was growing well but requires a ton of water, and I needed a better solution. For that purpose, this planter is fantastic. The mint plant is thriving in it. The reservoir holds enough water that I only need to refill it once or twice a week, which is a huge improvement and exactly what I was looking for. My main frustration, however, is the lack of a water level indicator. There is no transparent window or gauge, so you have no idea how much water is left or when it's truly empty. You just have to fill it completely and wait. Because different plants consume water at different rates, you have to learn your specific plant's schedule and guess when it's time to refill. Summary: This is a great solution if you have a thirsty plant like mint. It definitely works and keeps the plant happy. Just be prepared to manage the refilling schedule yourself, as the planter offers no help in knowing the water level.
