I have a lot of pots. Most of my pots are either Algreen or Lechuza because I like having a water reservoir. I am an overwaterer, at least I was until I started buying self-watering pots. It is still possible to overwater with a water reservoir, so I make sure that the top soil is dry before I fill the reservoir. I only have to water every 1 to 3 weeks with my self-watering pots. My fast growing herbs typically need watering once a week while my slower growing plants are okay for 2 to 3 weeks. Both brands are expensive but the time savings and aid with moisture control is worth it for me. I killed plants for years until I bought these pots.
Algreen vs Lechuza:
- Country of origin: Algreen pots are made in China, while Lechuza pots are made in Germany.
- Pon: The Lechuza pots come with Pon (basically fancy gravel) that is supposed to make the self-watering system work better. I bought a large bag of Pon off Amazon that I use when I reuse a Lechuza pot or buy an Algreen pot.
- Price: The Algreen pots are typically about $10 cheaper for the same size pot.
- Quality: I have not noticed a difference. The water level indicator is almost identical and works just as well in both.
- Style: The Lechuza pots tend to be better looking.
Summary: I prefer my Lechuza pots. However, I buy a lot of pots, so typically I go with whichever one is one sale.
This particular model is on the small side. I find that I can only comfortably fit 2 to 3 of my herb plants in it before they start complaining that their roots are cramped.
