Self Watering Plant Pot

How to make it self-watering

You need a small piece of a cloth or rag. Preferably something that absorbs water well, like cotton rag or something. In my case this was a small cotton towel that I've ordered in bulk a while ago to clean my place. Cut a piece of cloth about 5cm wide that will fit into the holes on both sides and long enough so it will touch the base with water after you put two pieces together (as shown in the pictures below). This works pretty much like a good old method of placing a bowl of water next to your plant and "connecting" it with a piece of paper towel. The cloth will absorb the water that will be then soaked up by plant whenever our little green friend needs it. The size should allow the plant to survive a couple of days without active watering - perfect for whenever you go abroad/on holidays and don't need to bother anyone to water your plants during that time.
