Self-Watering Bottle Setup:
Clean an empty plastic bottle thoroughly.
Fill the bottle with water.
Make a small hole in the bottle cap or poke a few tiny holes near the bottle’s neck.
Invert the bottle and bury the neck a few inches deep into the soil near the plant roots.
The water will slowly drip into the soil, providing consistent moisture.
Wicking System Using Strings:
Fill a jar or container with water.
Tie a cotton or nylon string and place one end submerged in the water and the other end buried in the plant’s soil.
The string acts as a wick, drawing water gradually to the soil as needed.
Tray Irrigation:
Place your potted plants on a shallow tray filled with water.
The soil will absorb water from the tray through the drainage holes by capillary action, keeping the plant hydrated.
