Self-Watering Planter Design

As many of you know, I am an avid plant lover. I have been collecting tropical plants for a couple years. Tropical plants require much more water than most houseplants; to solve this, I have been using these plastic self-watering planters from amazon.

This design includes an inner pot that had a projection at the bottom so, the inner pot could suck up water from the outer-pot.

I always wondered if I could make it with clay so, I drew out a plan for my design.

I was very pleased with how my first prototype came out and then it was ready to test it with one of my tropical plants.

This plant is now thriving in its pot and has given me many flowers and new leafs! I should consider this project a success and will have self-watering planters for sale on December 4th.
