Demeter - Self-Watering 3D Printed Planter Demeter is a unique self-watering planter designed to provide a convenient and efficient way to maintain plant moisture. This README file provides an overview of the Demeter planter, its features, and instructions for usage. Features Self-Watering System: Demeter incorporates a self-watering mechanism that ensures plants receive adequate moisture without manual intervention. 3D Printed Design: The planter is created using 3D printing technology, allowing for customizable and visually appealing designs. Moisture Control: The planter includes a specialized hole designed to hold compressed cotton, which acts as a moisture regulator, promoting more uniform hydration for plants. Easy Maintenance: Demeter requires minimal maintenance and provides a hassle-free gardening experience. Usage Instructions Print or Acquire the Demeter Planter: Use a 3D printer to create the Demeter planter or obtain one from a trusted source. Prepare the Cotton: Take compressed cotton and expand it until it completely covers the holes in the planter. Ensure that the cotton is compressed enough to prevent excessive water leakage. Plant Selection: Choose a suitable plant for your Demeter planter, considering its water requirements and size. Planting: Place the chosen plant inside the planter, ensuring it is positioned securely. Watering: Fill the water reservoir of the planter, usually located at the bottom, with an appropriate amount of water. The cotton will act as a barrier and help distribute moisture evenly. Monitoring: Regularly check the water level in the reservoir and refill as needed, ensuring the cotton remains moist. Important Notes Avoid overwatering the planter, as it may lead to root rot or other moisture-related issues. The cotton barrier helps regulate water flow and prevent excess saturation. Depending on the plant's water requirements, monitor the moisture level in the planter and adjust the watering frequency accordingly. Ensure that the planter is placed in an appropriate location with adequate sunlight and ventilation, considering the specific needs of your plant.
