Dexceder 13.5 in Large Self Watering Hanging Planter - Deep Basin

In this review the Dexceder 13.5 in Large Self Watering Hanging Planter is judged as a sensible choice for busy plant owners who want a low-maintenance hanging solution. The single biggest reason to buy is its integrated sub-irrigation reservoir and visible water level indicator, which together help prevent root rot and can keep many plants watered for up to three weeks, making it ideal for those who travel or forget frequent watering.

Key Features

• Self-watering reservoir: The separated integrated water catcher supplies consistent moisture and reduces the risk of root rot by keeping soil aerated between fills.
• Water level indicator: A clear insert gauge shows when the reservoir is low so owners know exactly when to refill without guessing.
• Larger, deeper basin: The extra deep inner basin accommodates long or dense root systems and allows mixed plantings like herbs with trailing pothos.
• Drainage control: A removable drainage plug and spillway hole let you easily drain excess water after heavy rain or to avoid overwatering outdoors.
• Durable construction: Frost and UV resistant PP plastic with color master batch keeps the pot color stable and the body resistant to cracking in normal use.
• Strong hanging hardware: A substantial hanging chain and hook are provided so the planter can be suspended from a secure ceiling point.

Who It's For

This planter is best for apartment gardeners, balcony growers, or anyone who wants a hands-off hanging pot that reduces daily watering chores. It suits a wide range of plants - from succulents and herbs to trailing vines and medium ferns - because the deep basin and reservoir support longer root growth and mixed plantings.

Those who should look elsewhere include gardeners who need an ultra-lightweight or disposable seasonal pot or anyone who requires a planter made of ceramic or another non-plastic material; heavy specimen trees or very large root systems may still outgrow this 13.5 in basin over time.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective self-watering system that can supply water for over three weeks depending on plant type.
• Visible water level indicator removes guesswork and helps prevent both under- and overwatering.
• Deep, roomy interior allows mixed plantings and supports plants with longer roots.
• Durable, UV and frost resistant plastic that keeps color and structure over time.

Cons

• Some users report hardware issues under heavy loads (S-hook bending) or occasional cracking if stressed, so proper mounting is important.
• Plastic construction may not satisfy buyers wanting ceramic or premium materials.
