Consider a Self Watering Planter

and Other Attractive Planters for Your Porch

A self watering planter is handy not only because it will take the work out of watering but also add lots of appeal to any porch, deck, patio, or balcony. Add water and go on vacation without losing your plant investment when you get back.

And saves from finding someone to water your plants while you are gone.

These planters are ideal for your porch, deck, patio, or balcony. While some are quite expandable, others are are small enough to accommodate the smallest of porches or porticos.

Self watering planters are awesome. Dave and I love the idea of planters on porches.

But when it's really hot or you go away for a few days, what is the biggest problem you have? Your plants dry out very quickly.

There are multiple solutions to keeping your plants watered, some of them being true self-watering pots and others being probes, spikes, troughs and even systems with mason-type jars. We found some good self-watering ideas on Amazon - (Our Amazon affiliate link).

Consider a self-watering planter on your porch or deck if you:
  • Love to decorate your porch with live flowers and plants
  • Love flowers
  • Like to garden
  • Like fresh herbs or vegetables
  • Work lots of hours or travel often
  • Oops! Not one to conscientiously care for plants



Planters work in small or large spaces. We like the idea of gardening right on the porch - it's so handy to tend to herbs and tomato plants when they are right out your front door.

Whether you have a small porch or a spacious space, an outdoor planter is perfect for climbing vines, potted plants, gorgeous greens and colorful blooms.
