I'm looking for waterproof trays to winter over outside plants in pots in the basement. Would these work for that purpose?

All of mine have been waterproof. If by that you mean leak proof. I grow wheatgrass in mine in the house. I have only had one that leaked.

I think so. They are not huge and the quality is pretty good. I've had one sitting outside for some months and it still collects water. And, given that there are ridges, the pots would be less likely to become waterlogged.

I used mine inside the house because of the weather vs. electronics. No they are for inside. If you weather proof them like I did and put them inside a water tight PVC tube with PVC cap on the end they will be okay.

Yes they should be able to handle the moisture, but I'm not sure about the temperature. I would recommed a true waterproof speaker.

Yes they are waterproof, they should work but I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher.

They are designed for small bonsai trees. has two drainage holes. I believe that if the maximum height of the tree or succulents is 9 inches. These pots work

I haven't tried it. They are a thin flexible rubber mat. I would suppose if you had a strong enough glue that works well with weather, it would be a possibility. I bought them to put on wooden steps that go to the basement. You might want to contact the company that makes them and ask them before you would purchase them! Good Luck!

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

They're not designed for outdoor use, id be worried about damp air causing corrosion over time since they're not sealed. Could it work? Maybe in a dry climate, or in a very sheltered soffit.

I think they would work for fine for herb plants-especially if you are starting them from seed. Of course as they grow and become root-bound, you would need to go to a larger size pot. You would also need to have some kind of tray under them because of the holes. Hope this answers your question.

I don't believe they are, although if you can put them in an area that is no directly exposed to rain or snow they might be ok. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or humidity, I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give a bit more information. If you were to put them in a covered patio area, that would help.

no- but mine are also for my plants outside... i did go out and check them when the question was asked, and there is nothing but a kind of dirt smell where the water and soil have flowed through. Probably will put plasstic saucers under the pots when i bring them in for winter

Generally they don't do well indoors especially with dry heat in the Winter. I would order these in the Spring and then pot them outside

. I got them to trap the water fromMelting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

I wouldn't trust them to be weather resistant, the item isn't marketed as such and what you see in the picture is what you get, the connections would be at risk of damage if they were to get wet.

Certainly. There is a rubber plug in the bottom that will control water dripping out. I put another plant down there to catch the drips. Probably great for herbs over the winter. They are really a nice height and size. I wouldn't have space indoors for this so hope you do. Happy gardening.
