Farewell to the best IKEA pot ever
IKEA, being IKEA, seems to have discontinued the bestest pot ever, their PS Fejo. A few days ago I noticed that it was not part of their 2009 catalog.
What's so great about it? It is a self watering pot on wheels. Plastic wheels that don't rust. Wheels that have rarely given me any problem. As I like to move my plants around in the backyard, the wheels are an important feature.
I usually drill three small holes near the bottom side of the pot, a bit above the reservoir, so I can keep them outside. The little indicator, that pops up when the reservoir is full, sometimes fails after a few seasons, bit the main thing, the wheels and the integrity of the pot is longer lasting.
So I went to IKEA and bought 5 Fejos, seeing that the College Park location had about 100 in stock.

I bought one today at the IKEA in Schaumburg, IL. They had plenty.
They're back in stock as of summer 2014. Found your post while googling to find out if freezing weather would damage this pot. I have two with bamboo in them on my balcony. Thoughts?
I've kept them outside for several winters. Depends on the plant.
