DIY Auto Plant Waterer

myminifactory

The DIY Auto Plant Waterer that I first tested worked remarkably well. I can get about 1 week or more of auto watering to my fairly large potted plant using a 1.89 L bottle (ocean spray juice bottle). This revised design builds on the success of the initial one, which is why I'm excited to share it with you. Additional materials are needed to bring this design to life: a long wick made from an absorbent material like cotton that should extend from the soil through the tube of the plant waterer into the container holding the water, touching its base. A water container, such as a 1.89 L ocean spray bottle or similar with a neck for attaching the auto plant waterer, is also required. And, of course, you'll need water to fill it up!
