Made this to make e. g. store bought basil survive longer without having to constantly irrigate manually.

Only suitable for plants that can withstand having their roots in water - otherwise you need to have a little riser so the pot is above water level and then include something to soak up the water into the pot.
One plate is the actual model, the other one is only the thread part so you can check with a bottle and see if you can get the supports out.
