Here are a couple of self watering pots:
Left is a ceramic pot (unglazed) that sits into a 2nd pot (fully glazed). Water is poured in through the small hole just below the lip and is drawn into the inner pot by osmosis. These can be found at Home Depot & Lowes and some garden shops.
On the right is a plastic pot, sitting on a reservoir. There is a wick leading from the water reservoir on the bottom to the soil in the pot above. You add water through a whole in the top of the reservoir. These are called Dandy Pots and are harder to find. This is the cheapest I have found for them http://theforneyfarm.com/id31.html
Both forms come in a variety of colors.
