Ivyline Artstone 103786 Pot 22x20cm - Claire White

Look good. Easy to use and could convince yourself that they look like stone. Good delivery time from EU. Prices seem to fluctuate but fine if you are not in a hurry and can monitor the price or if you are flexible on size

Absolutely love this pot. No need to worry about root rot anymore with its clever design. It has an inch gap at the bottom with optional drainage plug. In case you over water your beloved plants. Plus if you want to you can let it drink from the bottom up when you do. It feels like concrete, not plastic cheap rubbish. Looks great and for the price you can't possibly say no. It comes in many sizes and colours so if you often buy pots you can keep a theme going.The best thing is the over watering idea. No more root rot.It's not terracotta or clay, but sure is sturdy. It's holding my 70cm slender cactus cutting just fine and I know I can't over water it. Hobby getting easier. Found the right pot. Finally!!Ps excuse the mess, was eager to get a picture on here. A week has passed and I've now watered the cactus. Drained well. When I the pot gets wet it looks like it could be clay. Nice. Love the sandstone material it's made from. Noticed they go up to like a 47cm pot too. Ceramics or terracotta of this size are well expensive but this modern technology a fraction of that cost. I couldn't be more happy with this plant pot / company.

First off, if, like me, you've been looking at the other colours in this range and are wondering if only the white pot has the drainage/reservoir + plug system because that's the only one that details this feature, then I can confirm that this (and the black ones) also have it (at least on the 17x15cm pots I bought).Quality is good, the plastic/artstone feels thicker than I imagined and the pot is a bit heavier than I thought from reading others' reviews, but yeah, it's not going to take an excessively long and weighty plant/tree and you'll need an actual stone pot, probably. I've got 30cm tall Peace Lilies in mine and they're fine. They match my man pad's dark wood and natural colour scheme's interior. My only very slight criticism is that they somehow don't look quite as authentically stone like as hoped, but it's hardly noticeable really. Are they worth £5 when you can go buy a thin plastic pot from a local store? I'd say this doesn't look or feel like it's going to crack unless you try really hard, or pot it with a 4' designer/decorative tree in it. The plug to make this into an outdoor pot (or for extra drainage is made of soft-ish rubber, so it feel like it has a fairly good seal, although one of the two I bought (in black) has leaked a tiny bit, so be careful with this.

I am very pleased with these plant pots. They are lightweight, of course, being plastic but feel very robust, and I partcularly like the fact they don't look like plastic. The drainage hole in the bottom makes them suitable for indoors or outside.Good buy.

I use several of these for conservatory plants. They look and feel ceramic but with the lightness and resilience of a plastic/stone composite. They do not need an inner pot, as some have suggested. There is a clever insert above the base with small slots that let the water, but not the compost, through. This forms a reservoir of water like a pot saucer might. This has a rubber bung that I remove to prevent accidental water logging. This way, the reservoir fills to the top but then drains. If you water too much you will need a tray to catch the overflow if you have removed the bung. The insert can be removed from an empty pot for cleaning. I hold the empty pot upside down and drop it gently onto a hard surface and his usually dislodges a reluctant insert. Sounds complex, perhaps, but easy in practice. I will buy more.

It’s quite large but very light which is what I was after. A drainer comes with it for the bottom of the pot. My near dead chilli plant is now Doug very well

These pots are 29.5cm high, 32cm diameter at the top, and 20cm diameter at the bottom. The material they are made of is about 8mm thick, so deduct that if you wish to know the how big the inside of this pot is.I give these dimensions as the exact dimensions are not mention on the product description page in a meaningful way.They are made of some form of plastic or resin material that claims to be recyclable according to the stickers on them. This claim I can not confirm nor deny.They are light-weight for their size. The look is as-per the image currently used, with a grey almost organic look that is unique to each pot.I bought two pots. Each pot is different in appearance, but the same in dimensions. They have a "water reservoir" at the bottom with the option to remove a drain plug to allow excess water to drain away, or leave the plug in and let the pot fill with water.The idea is that you can water the plant/pot and keep a small "reservoir" of water at the bottom of the pot (remove the plug) allowing excess water to drain away, or water it till the pot overflows, and the plant drowns (plug not removed.)If using this pot to hold an already potted plant in a separate pot leave the drain plug in place, and let it drink of the water saved for it.If using this pot as a pot for it's own plant remove the plug, and let the pot drain.P.S.Bought 3 more in June 2014.

I don't understand the self watering bit but as a pot it does its job.
