Comments about Self-Watering Hanging Basket:
I bought 2 of these planters, and 2 others from this website. The same flowers and dirt and fertilizer was put in all 4 of the planters, but the flowers in these "self watering hanging baskets" are dying, while the others are thriving. I took these planters down and noticed the soil was extremely wet, and yet I'm only watering 1-2 times a week. So I didn't water them for 5 days, and left them in full sun for 2 entire days. The dirt was STILL SOAKING WET. So I dumped them out and there was just water all in the bottom of the plantesr. I understand these are "self watering" but I don't want the water to just sit there an never drain. I wanted my plants to stay moist and watered, not water logged! I had to dump out the watery dirt and ruined flowers. Waste of money, both on the planters AND the flowers I put in them. Would NOT recommend at all!
