Bought myself a few pots a few months ago. And my verdict? Avoid it! Yes, it does look pleasing to the eye, doesn't it? But then you take it home and the fun starts. Unless you are prepared to search for hours for specific plants that like their roots wet, and I mean wet, ALL the time, you will easily drown your plants. So the claimed "natural" way of looking after your plants is no so natural anymore. Standing water is next fun thing, so unless you want green water in the bowl, don't let your plants see the light of day. And lastly, so the water gets sucked up through the pot but it also evaporates, so be prepared to wash the outer glass pot at least every 3 weeks, otherwise you might get a visit from Kim and co. Take the time to look around, there are many other self watering pots for cheaper, and with less effort. And your plants might just survive... Wish I did...

Great add-on for those of us who are too lazy to go constantly water our plants. Plus it looks pretty neat. Better than the run of the mill plant pot.

Lord knows I've killed enough plants by not watering them, so Wet Pot Systems makes serious sense to me! (via macandrew)

Allow your plants to take care of themselves
