Self-watering planter
It’s summer and the heat makes us thirsty all the time! And that’s true for plants as well. Summer is when we plan our vacations? Who will water our plants then? Sometimes, in our zeal, we tend to over-water them, which is also not good for the plants. Self-watering planters are a great way to keep your plants healthy and hydrated, even when you’re away.
They work by storing water in a reservoir, which is then drawn up through the string and into the potting soil. The water then travels through the soil to the plant’s roots, where it is absorbed. The water level in the reservoir will slowly decrease, as the plant uses it up. When the water level gets low, you will need to refill the reservoir.
Follow these steps to make your own upcycled planter!
