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?

Plants that get dramatic between waterings work well with self watering pots. I have my fittonia in them and there's a big difference between them and normal pots. I would suggest them for plants that don't like fully drying out between waterings.
