Description

ARIANA COLLECTION by Bloem: The planter waters plants when you’re not looking and helps keep your plants from drying out. Here’s how: Inside the planter, at the bottom, is a hidden reservoir that holds approx. 1 inch to 3.5 inches of water (depending on planter size). The self-watering insert keeps dirt and roots above the hidden reservoir line while constantly providing healthy “greenhouse-like” moisture through the evaporation process. If you’re forgetful, or you’re just not home very often, self-watering containers are a must-have. They’re also helpful if you’re growing in an area that’s not convenient to a water spigot, such as a balcony. How a self-watering planter works: the potting mix is held above the water line by a sturdy screen. The water chamber is connected by small porous channels filled with soil, which then acts as a water wick. As water is used by the plant or evaporates from the surface of the soil, capillary action draws more water up from base of planter. The soil has just the right amount of water all the time, but also maintains air pockets, which the plant roots need to stay healthy.

  • These work great for burst rain, and no rain. Drill appropriate sized SIDE holes.
Color: Living Green Size: 20"
Found this brand years ago, and use them exclusively now, in all sizes. They have a version, "Lucca", with a water catch tray for the pots to sit in vs drilling custom holes, and the soil/root holder is molded into the pot bottom. More expensive, and not available in 20". Think the largest is 16". These end up being more moist than the Ariana's comparatively, not sure exactly why, and can work better for high water consumption plants. Or heavily planted mixed setups. The 20" obviously being the most overall successful, because there is more soil. So plants have a better chance of not getting crispy fried in summer, and can find moisture somewhere in the pot. After glancing through some reviews I felt the Ariana pots should be explained. These pots are SIPs at best, not self watering, unless you build on from the basic pot and tray. The bottom helps grab back up a little bit of water, over a few hours, that ran right through overly dried out soils. The tray inside the pot (If that's missing the deal is off) supports the soil/roots up, out of any water. When the water finally comes. Drill holes that best suit your water environment in the SIDE of the pots, just below the inner support tray. We don't always do that neatly, erring on too high for some holes, but still works fine. We have drought then gully washers, then drought, and so on, from mid-'spring' to early 'winter'. When I first got these, I drilled many small holes around the side bottom, because I worried about mosquitos in stagnate water and fire ants getting up through the pot, like they used to always do before I found this pot brand. I lost about two plants a year to fire ant take over, where they basically drowned the plant in red clay from below the drainage holes. Watering the pot to overfill often, didn't even make them attempt to move. Plus could kill the plant a different way. ha Here, there is not enough water remaining in bottom of these pots, long enough, for the mosquitoes to do anything with it. In the seven years I've been using these, not ONE fire ant pot take over has occurred. So now we just drill about four 3/4 inch holes and it stays clean, no ants. (See setup though, for how to keep initial soil fill from contaminating the bottom.) If we lived some place with consistent rain or cooler temperatures, those holes would be about the biggest drill bit I had, and very low. Still on the sides though, because I can't imagine a place without ant takeovers. (Maybe that doesn't happen, somewhere.) Downsides to these pots revolve around the simple fact that they are thin. So they don't hold as cool a soil temperature inside, vs expensive thick pots. Also they can break if someone leans hard on them. Otherwise, they do last for many years, and grow an unending easy supply of drought and heat tolerate plants. Like trellised cowpeas, but I've even managed trellised watermelon in these 20" pots during a year when I was dragging out a hose to water, at least once a week. Just as an aside, watermelon laying across the pot surface, can also bust the pot apart. Which then leads to a funny tied together pot situation for the rest of the growing period. Ask me how I know... Have also grown tomatoes, many cucurbits, all kinds of onions, shallots, garlic, and other high water maintenance things in these. With varying degrees of success, depending on how often the watering hose made it to the pots. Winter crops are actually always fine (lettuce, chard, choy, kale, celery, etc.). Even a touch over watered, usually, by the winter rainfall, because the soil mix is geared towards the weather during most of the year. Winter crops just have to grow fast to beat the incoming heat. Some varieties of peppers don't really perform best in the 20", and do better in the 16". Probably because of the high moisture retention soil mix we use that is down in the middle of the pot as the years pass, and how shallow some of their roots are, so they don't get good use out of the height. Just depends on the pepper variety though. We also have perennial herbs/shrubs, and berry bushes in various sizes of these pots, year round. Winter isn't great for some of the full time herbs, unless I can get the pots under an overhang, where they get half the rain. SETUP: When these pots are first setup, we line the inner tray with layers of packing paper. The paper holds loose soil particles out of the bottom until the soil forms up, with roots all down there. After that, we just refresh the top dropped level each year, or lightly scratch in amendments. Often, stored shredded fall leaves are used as mulch, so those become part of the spring/fall topper amendment mix. Base soil mix we use is pretty close to a more compost heavy version of the SQ FT garden mix, for moisture retention, so even years later it still pours out easily, to transfer to a new pot. If say a tall guy leaned on the thing and snapped the rim and side! We use mostly coconut coir fiber instead of peat, because once peat dries out here it's just a nightmare. Sorry about the novel, whoops, very passionate about these pots. May they always be sold. ... show more

  • Great Value
Color: Burnt Red Size: 20"
This planter is really big and a great value for the price. It's super sturdy. The color is lovely. It doesn't really self waster though . My plant will get yellow leaves if any water remains in the bottom for too long.

  • Good product. Good price.
Color: Pebble Stone Size: 16"
Good size. Good price. Good color. Customizable drainage. There are options to punch out your own drainage holes. So you can punch out just the higher holes if you want to keep a water reservoir in the bottom, punch out all the holes to get a well-draining pot, or not punch out any holes if you want to use it indoors or as a self-watering pot. I only wish the drainage holes came with plugs so I can plug them if I plant something else in the pot next season that requires less drainage. ... show more

  • Large planter for larger indoor/outdoor flowers
Color: Burnt Red Size: 20"
My daughter got a Hibiscus in her first year as a teacher from a student and it has grown to the point that I needed this monster of a planter. I love the color and it's amazing how sturdy it is. The material is as expected, the plastic is thick and makes for a hefty planter. There are drain holes so it works well to keep the soil from being excessively moist. ... show more

  • Works great for a different use!
Color: Black Size: 10"
Just moved into our new build home and we have an oddly-placed water spigot by my front door 🫣 . I searched for hose pots, but most are too big and expensive for what I needed. So I decided to go with a plant pot and loved this shape and size. I like it so much I’ll most likely order a few more for potted plants for my deck! ... show more

  • Flimsy and discolored.
Color: Charcoal Size: 8"
I like Bloem pots and planters, and have bought quite a few. I like them for their quality. These pots, however, were a huge disappointment. The plastic is flimsy, and with any kind of pressure, they crease and discolor. The photos show how they arrived (and the packaging was not damaged). I’m using them, to be sure, but I won’t buy this particular model in the future. ... show more
