I've been testing this self-watering planter concept for a few months now, and it works flawlessly. It has two stages. The upper one contains soil and the plant. The lower stage is a water reservoir. Watering happens through a nylon rope (marketed for this use case) that moves water upward into the soil via capillary action as it dries out. I have never watered it from above, yet the top soil has never dried out.
I am not sure how well it would work with plants that need the soil to occasionally dry up, though.
The reservoir is enough for about 2-4 weeks for the shown plant.
Just wanted to share the concept. 🌱
I used the following wick: ORIMERC, 6mm diameter, Material Polyester-Mix, (check Amazon)
