Crescent Garden TruDrop Container - amzn.to/2l4HwBr
From the manufacturer -
We were able to incorporate this system with our trusted double-walled rotational molded decorative planters to create a functional self-watering system completely contained within an attractive, sturdy, lightweight planter. With the introduction of the TruDrop system in the Dot planter comes a new era of container gardening. The Dot planter comes all one piece, it has a water gauge that can be easily read to indicate levels of water in the reservoir and which lays flush on the rim so there are no parts that can be easily broken off, it has a system that works outdoors as well as indoors by including an overflow valve for outdoor planter placement and a quick-coupler to connect to a hose when indoor planters need to be drained. Most importantly, the unique design of our capillary action watering allows you to save on water, fertilizer, and produces healthier plants by watering and feeding where the life-supporting roots are growing. By reading the water gauge on the planter, even the novice gardener can grow without fearfully thinking, “How will I know when to water?!” With our TruDrop system Dot planter, beauty meets function and makes container growing a whole lot easier.

I have Rubbermaid self watering planters i bought 25+ years ago and they're still working great! Ive had more annuals propagate year after year in them too!
I did a LOT of work putting together self-watering containers for my garden in Houston. It turns out that it's a bad idea in 100% humidity to always have moist soil. The fungal issues were INSANE. Since then I've scrapped it and started letting the pot dry out before watering again, which has really helped with the fungus. I didn't realize that moisture is the enemy in the sub-tropics!
Same here in CNY. We go through a week and a half of heat during which things dry out. Then we proceed through a week of alternate-day storms. I'm considering this design for water-hungry plants like potato vines and brugmansias, and maybe elephant ears, but as far as my petunias and butterfly bushes are concerned, they seem to not mind going a day or two of dryness.
Thanks for sharing! I have learn a lot from you. the close shot for your eyes makes your eyes look like diamonds.

perfect
I just love watching your gardening videos. I learn so much helpful tips
I actually managed to not kill this year's cactus plants because of your tips! Thanks again.
Awesome I just looked at this planter today at the garden center and wondered if it was worth the money . I will be watching for your results...Thank you your videos are wonderful!!!!
Dream come true!! I travel and can't always water. Thanks!
I hope they have self watering hanging pots for along my fences!! This is just marvelous
Come for the plants stay for the adorable cat and the plants
Hello Dexter. Hope you're having a nice day.
Thank you so much and thanks Cresent Gardens also!,
Looks like Dexter has stolen your heart. How sweet!
Just came across your channel and I really love your videos!! I'm not a gardener but your videos make me want to go out and do some planting!! Thanks!
Love your videos! And i love seeing Dexter😻
I feel like if you're living in an apartment with a busy day job, and have a balcony that was wide enough, having one of these would be amazing! You could plant it up according to your climate and how much sun your balcony gets, and you wont be stressing about watering your plants during your work or if you have too many things going on to remember every day.
Love your videos and your land you are bless..
Great idea hope it works. Thank you
Might be a good idea to get a cheap funnel for that container, can't wait to how those plants do, i've always been hesitant on self watering containers.
Just came across your video, great looking flowers in that planter. I don't have an eye for "plants/flowers" and I'm starting my front porch and front yard from scratch. Front faces north so lots of shade little sun. I really like your ideas though and I have to say you are beautiful. Will keep watching your videos. Thank you!
Such a FANTASTIC video :-) Self watering containers look brilliant and would save so much time having to water all the time and looking forward to the updates on it :-) WOW the supertunia Vista bubblegums are absolutely BREATHTAKING :-) Dexter is ADORABLE :-) thanks so much for sharing Laura and sending heaps of love and happiness from Ireland XXXX
Ooh can't wait to see how the containers work out! Any chance you could show us how you prep your yard for winter later on? We just moved into a home this year and I'm not sure the best way to clean up summer plants and prep perennials and things for winter.
Oh Laura that container for flowers it would be great for garden clubs to display their cut specimens . Do you do talks to garden clubs--like you don’t do enough 😄 just a thought. I am not as handy as I use to be but I would love to put specimens from my potted plants on mu from door😉
i love the plants you choose in the pot, so pretty
wish you would record what you said you were going to. it would be great watching you just plant and see how you do it.
Hi ! they are awesome! I was wondering what happened if we have a lot of rain?
This could be the answer to my plants surviving when we're away on a long trip! Unfortunately that did not happen this year but will have to try this out for next year. Also a fall yard clean up video would be so helpful!
Great video. I love seeing all the projects you have in your beautiful yard. I can't wait to see if the planters work!
Thank you. Going to the sight to see about my container!
Watched one video and I am yourfan now. You are informative and to the point.
always thrilled to watch your videos - and bonus, cameos with Dexter!
I love how you grow plants 🌱 😊
Love your video, your garden and Dexter ♥♥♥♥
Great, informative video, as always! I'm going to share this with my mom-in-law who needs this kind of container. It's perfect for her!
Your husband gets his butt kicked on a regular basis. Anyway, great videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Great idea for my plants, thank you.
Another beautiful arrangement loved it
Great video! It's nice to see something informal mixed in with your other stuff. The variety keeps it all fresh. I watch a LOT of your videos :) Glad to see the pot worked. My front garden gets 100% sun all day so this type of pot would be a good option for me. I'm recently arrived in the SF bay area from the UK and I'm finding watering can be a real time consuming chore here so I grow lots of succulents! We're renovating an old spanish colonial style house and we need to completely do the front and back gardens so we have a ton of gardening challenges to come. Thanks for making me feel more confident about tackling them! I'd love to see some of your thoughts and suggestions on waterwise/drought tolerant garden and landscape design. Love your channel - keep up the good work! :)
Oh - and I meant to ask - did the pot retain it's colour in the sun? We get quite fierce sun here and I've seen quite a few plastic pots get bleached and discoloured. Not sure if you had it in full sun or if was in the sun for long enough for you to see if it bleached?
Looks like a great idea? I would really like a container which I don't have to water so often.
Hi, I am new here and new to gardening. I watched a few of your container gardening videos and I have a question. I planted a tiny garden in a self watering container and did like you said, watered from above to start. However, now I noticed I have a bunch of mold growing on the soil. Is it because I watered too much or maybe because I put a little potting soil ontop of the potting mix since I had some leftover. Anywho, I love your videos 😊 my mom recommended them to me, so now we're both gardening up a storm!
Really look forward to ur videos....love your confidence and ability
We need to see how to make the petunia tree stand you showed at the nursery please.
Self watering containers sound wonderful. Do they have drainage holes for when it rains heavily?
so lucky. it's 90° at 11am in Louisiana lol
I love this video!! I wish i had a space like yours :/.. I only have a small balcony..
What size is the pot?
Great video! If I left those flowers in the test tubes will they root eventually? Thank you for your time.
so cool stuff...guess too heavy one..love it.
That pot would be great in TX!
Thank you
thats a really cool self watering pot :D better than one i got.
Loved this kind of vloggy (yes I made that up😂) video! And love the self-watering pot idea! I hope it works! If so I'm in!👍🏼
Love this
Will there be an update in September / October on harvesting bees?
very expensive pots i recommend air pots so the plants dont become rootbound over time although you still have to keep watering which is the downside
We're selling different styles of self-watering containers and pots in the garden center I work at and we tried out some of them. It works with several different plants and more during the summer when the evaporation is more intense... Also depends on the soil, how much water it can take in until it becomes saturated.
But it is good to not keep it full all the time. And sometimes let the water reservoir be empty for a while. Otherwise the soil will be too soggy.
Great video!!!
I can't wait for next spring to plant with these containers. Do they work for citrus trees as well?
Dexter Kitty:) we got Mr Meow Meow! He adopted us 2012!
you need a funnel for that : )
I love your garden. I have a quick question are those self watering containers good for all perennial plants. Will they tend to keep the soil too moist?
Wow! That is actually really cool! How does it work? And what a beautiful design.
"They spelled plugs wrong" had me in tears, oh they're good! I can only really imagine they used the wrong vowel, but even then it's not easily comprehendable, my best effort came out as ploerg, did they attempt to create the L by rolling an R? did they use an extra G or two? you must share this spelling, please! I might very well not be able to sleep tonight!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the video, thanks for sharing
love it! I was curious about the big box in your foyer that you passed by to get to the self watering container...was that a vegetable garden trellis? I had a garden this year for the first time, loved it!, but was kinda land locked with the cucumbers and they spread EVERYWHERE. I was thinking of doing some sort of climbing trellis for them next year and saw that box and had to ask you. ☺ thx!
amazing self-watering pots. it really works?
Please do a video on herbs.
How deep is the soil area or how many gallons of soil does it hold and I'm assuming good it holds about 5 gallons of water
Do you think these pots would work with herbs or vegetable plants? 🌱
I hope so
Thanks for sharing, love your videos! :)
How do you remember all the names of the flowers? Wow.
$167 I'll pass thanks
I'll take 3!
I'll pass cause I don't need containers these huge. I can take a tall planter and DIY it to be self-watering.
I love this video!!!
what about indoor ones?
Can you give us an update on your Honey bee's?
Hi I have a quick question, I don't know if your familiar with small bamboo pot planters grow kits, I just started getting plants for my room and one of these planters were my first. They're self watering with a wick going to the water, the only thing is it's for a Spanish Stone Succulent and I feel like the soil could be too moist for it to begin growing. So my question is, will they be okay or should I take out the water and set up a schedule for them based on how dry the soil is?
Clicked the link for this pot sold at Amazon, $206. This woman burns through money like there's no tomorrow.
Do you have a clipped version that only focuses on the TruDrop?
Just came across this video and wondered how often you have to water? What size pot are you using?
What size is this shown in the video?
Do they come larger?
Do you have to drain it out during winter? I put a yellowtwig dogwood in my self watering planter.
Limerick is
You're so pretty! Your hair color goes well with your eyes. Do you get it done at a salon or is that box color? My eyes are blue like yours and I tried to do dark brown, but it didn't work with my skin tone. Your hair has red in it. Sorry, I'm off topic. Getting compliments from one woman to another is a nice thing :).
I would love to know the same thing! Absolutely love your hair color. 💕
King Dexter!
$167. for one pot would be many peoples total garden budget for the year. That's outrageous for injected plastic containers.. It cost the company after tool and die was made approx. $2.00 in material. Didn't some guy go to jail for inflating medicine prices?
How can I purchase the bucket
18 inch $149.00 is outrageous! Sad
I like the idea of the pot but I guess I can't imagine that I have to preserve the pot by bringing it in. Usually I think it's the plants I want to save, not the pot.
Can you plant succulants in this container?
@gardenanswer How long did it take for the planter to go from full to empty or pretty close to it?
That's a very expensive pot. You should mention that in your review.
How did it work?!? I can’t find a follow up video.
Oh I found it!
Beautiful. Can you make over my garden???.
Beautifull girl ❤
Hello can u plz tell me the name of flowers in plastic tubes.
