Self-Watering Pots - What are they good for?
Self watering pots have a lot of downsides, but I find myself with several decorative plastic ones that I want to find a use for. What sort of plants thrive in these pots? What have you had luck with?

I don't understand the issues surrounding bottom watering pots with a wick.
I have a number of succulents in them, and of course the usual unkillable Pothos. I partially/fully fill the bottom part (Depending on it's carrying capacity) once every 2+ weeks and for the succulents they're good to go. Saves me A LOT of effort doing the usual bottom watering process of putting the pots in a large container of water until the water saturates the soil.
Can someone go into detail on the downsides of such pots?
