Mini wick pot - sellers choice

Average Rating 5 out of 5

Elegantly Practical

For years I usd the clay self watering pots with. Fairly good success. Those have now become harder to find and very expensive. I saw these wicking pots in the VB catalog and decided to try them. I am impessed! These are so easy to use. And elegant too. I have an assortment of colors and these pots add a splash of color to my indoor garden. They are easy to fill and easy to clean. They are very handy when leaving a week or two. They come complete with a pot for the plant, wick and the colorful or clear water/plan holder. I definitely recommend these pots!

My First Order

I ❤️ these wicking pots! I should have ordered 3! I ❤️ the surprise of The Violet Barn choosing the color wicking pot and the $1.00 discount on the item! Just received my first order: 2 Blue Blazes, 1 Jolly Fireball, 2 Mini Wicking Pots. The packing is so professionally done. I live in Texas. It is very hot here right now. Everything arrived in perfect condition. I look forward to my new mini violets blooming. I will definitely order again very soon. Thank you so much!

Best mini pots!

It's so hard to find self watering pots in this size. I've tried a couple of others, but these are by far the best mini wick pots around! I'm ordering more today along with the new 4 inch size.

Great Value

I have gone to wick watering for all of my violets, and these are the nicest ready-mades I've seen. The price is excellent considering you receive all the components. Can't wait to put my minis in these!

BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!

I live in the desert & have owned and used the same mini wick pots for several years. They are absolutely wonderful.

The best small pots!

I love wicking pots for my African violets, and this is the best pricing I've seen for this small size, which I've found hard to find. Thank you!

Great for dry climates!

Living in Arizona where we have very low humidity, I’ve struggled in the past to keep African Violets alive, especially mini varieties. I currently have 8 Mini Wick Pots and every plant is alive and growing well! I followed the “soil” recommendations noted above with 50% perlite and that’s it! Beautiful, healthy plants. We recently were gone for a week vacation and, when we came back, all still had water and didn’t even seem to notice that we were gone.

Love these little pots!

This is my first experience with these little wicking pots! They fit perfectly on my window sill with my cute little mini AVs! I'm buying them for all my mini's now! Love the different colors. Very easy to set up and attractive!

Quick and Easy

Love to use these for my mini and semi-mini's. Once I repot, I just drop the pot in and you're good to go. Just make sure to check on your plants as normal for any issues as you can easily forget since you don't have to water as often.

Wanted World Wide!

The only thing I use now for my little ones, people all over the world want to know where to get them. I let them know how great the VB is!
