I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use these pots. Only thing about them is they don't make them very big, therefore they would only benefit smaller plants. They work great though.

They do sell self-watering pots in larger sizes, they don't call them AV pots anymore, they're just plain self-watering pots/planters. You should be able to find them in pretty much any size you want.
i know this is a little late, but i decided to use an old one that my violet outgrew for my begonia and she loves it. i moved from a very humid climate to a very dry climate and was having issues keeping her moist after the move and this did the trick. she's constantly flowering :) i did notice that some african violet pots are better than others however, so be careful yours doesn't allow TOO much water through and rot the plant.
I agree. I've got a coffeea arabica in a small self-watering pot right now, an aglaonema modestum, peace lily, and english ivy in medium sized ones and they are all absolutely loving it, especially the ivy and coffee plants!
Ironically, I don't use them for my AVs -- but only because I've had trouble finding some small enough for mine. Should have bought a bunch of them when I had the chance!
I wouldn't use them on plants that like to be a little dry, though, like cacti or crassulas (like Jade)
Hone Depot had bunch of double pots on end season sale. I bought a carload! They are 6" and 8" pots., plants cat you think of that would flourish in these special pots? Please, (because you sod so very knowledgeable)about plants, please LSAT cant you think of that some would flourish in these pencils pots? Please,
