Why does this item only ship with orders over $25?
The $25 threshold allows us to offer a wider range of items for shipping, such as smaller, more convenient sizes.
How is the $25 threshold calculated?
Your cart must have a merchandise subtotal of at least $25. Any RedCard discount, promotion code discounts, gift wrap or tax will not be included in determining your merchandise subtotal.
Can I get free shipping?
Please note that the $25 threshold still applies to eligible items when shipped and paid with RedCard. See details

It's self-watering in exactly the same way as a clay pot with holes in the bottom, placed on a saucer of water

So are these pretty low maintenance I imagine? I tend to kill my plants, even when I try taking care of them.
Yes, the clay pot works kind of the same but it is only a single hole in the middle of the pot and isn't made to allow water to wick up as much as it allows excess water to drain.
If this is like the one I have, it is has a crosshatch pattern on the bottom and the water freely flows through the dirt.
I had my doubts myself but I found it works very well. I always water the plant (it's a Peace Plant btw) from the bottom and it keeps the plant evenly moist. I wait for it to begin to dry before I water again.
This pot enables you to go for a number of days between watering without fear long after a clay pot has gone dry.
At any rate, I much prefer natural materials to plastic, such as this 8" terracota planter for $3.24 (add a saucer to turn it into "self-watering"): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pennin...r/16795425

Just wondering.
