2 PCS Upside-Down Planter

I want to love these but I wish they were a little bigger

I’ll have to start from the beginning with this one - I have technically ordered 4 pairs of this item - 2 the first time & 2 the second. The first time, they were sent separately for some reason, and the second package was lost. Amazon only gave me the option to be refunded, and make another order- which I initially refused out of annoyance. The pair I did receive was simply packaged, no instructions or details included. Came with the mud mesh, lock, and metal hanging wire as advertised (two different lengths). I decided these worked well enough and I liked the aesthetic - so I purchased 2 more. Both were delivered so that was great, all with the exact length hanging wire which was highly annoying, and I excitedly planted my herbs into the planter nonetheless! Imagine my disappointment when 2 of those planters held NO water in the reservoir, flooding the soil until it was empty, dripping said water everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, the other planters do seem to move through the water quickly, but without killing the plant inside! Is this a quality issue?

I wanted to buy these for months and I finally got them!My first impression was that they're really nice and well made, but but but don't be fooled by the image!The pots are really small, and it's hard, if not impossible, to fit an orchid inside.Also, and maybe this is its greatest flaw, the holes on the top through which you water the plant are minuscule. When you pour the water, you have to do it almost drop by drop or you'll get water all over the place. The holes are so small that if there's dirt or debris, it will get clogged and again, you will water your carpet, your couch, etc. if you pour more than a spoon (literally) at a time.Anyway, I think I got used to these small flaws and my rosemary looks amazing!

I was running out of space for my collection of houseplants & orchids when I found these upside down planters. Decided to try them & I’m impressed!! They are small and plants sold in smaller pots (4”) fit nicely. I bought a second set because I liked them so much. Will be planting two of my mini orchids in them. There is no soil leaking out when I water but I’ve learned to use less water but more often. There is a water indicator at the top of the pot.

One of the two is broken (the water level indicator is broken off inside), and the second one is missing all 4 screws that hold the top on… soooo I can combine the pieces of both to have a single functional item… not what I expected. Save your money and go for a different brand.

I was so excited to get these and they looked great in my house. The issue is being upside down all the water concentrates at the top of the root system and bottom of the plant. Both plants I put in there rotted and I am trying to save them by chopping and propping (both Hoyas). I’ll try again with maybe an orchid and orchid bark or a more moisture loving plant but I’m worried I’ll have the same issue.

The first one arrived damaged but it was replaced easily. They are perfect for my huperzias and make it look interesting. I love the visible water level indicators too.

Purchased to hang some plants upside down in my greenhouse. Love the set up. Good quality material. But what's the green thing for?
