Which Plants LOVE Self-Watering Pots?

With over 200 plants, watering can be a chore so I have experimented with different set ups to make my life a little easier. So far I have found these self watering pots to be the best. They already have a cache pot attached so I just go around with my watering can and top them up a little when I don't have too much time. Its a good idea to refresh the reservoir at least every three weeks, although it's better to do it more often. The plants seems really happy which makes me happy!

I really like this round self watering pot. It's a bit shallow but it works well for my ferns.

These white ones are more economical and they come in many different sizes with different sellers. These are 6 inches.

These are the longer pots that I have some of my hoyas in:

These are the smallest, close to 3 inches. Good for things that have shallow roots like peperomias. https://amzn.to/3b263wN
