I was sceptical, I will admit having bought this pot at the Chelsea Flower Show. However these pots are amazing! I tested it on my basil, as I have 2 pots so I could really compare if the Potr pot was really ant better. 2 weeks in and the Potr pit of basil has not needed additional watering and the soil is really moist, as it needs to be. The other normal pot needs constant watering. Amazing product , only feedback would be remember to soak the watering cord first, it's not stated on the instructions. Will definitely be buying more!
