A simple and practical plant pot riser that transforms any waterproof cache-pot into a wick-based self-watering system.
It lifts the inner nursery pot above a water reservoir, allowing you to hydrate your plants using the wick method.
A wicking system works through capillary action: an absorbent wick such as cotton rope or felt draws water from a reservoir into the soil, keeping it consistently moist and helping prevent dehydration.
This riser:
Fits inside a waterproof cache-pot
Supports a standard nursery pot above the water level
Works with polyester rope, felt strips, or similar absorbent materials (avoid natural fibers)
Can be scaled directly in your slicer to match any pot diameter or desired height
Print recommendation:
Print in PETG for better moisture resistance and durability.
The design scales easily to adapt to different pot sizes and reservoir depths.
A simple upgrade for healthier plants with less frequent watering.
