Self-Watering Planter with Capillary Action

A self-watering planter with an integrated upper and lower structure.

The bottom of the upper planter has four wicking holes to accommodate four cotton wicks that draw water from the reservoir below.

The lower planter serves as a water reservoir, providing a slow and steady water supply to the plants in the upper planter via capillary action through the cotton wicks.

The upper planter also features ventilation holes that allow air to circulate from the reservoir to the external environment (ground or tabletop). It is recommended to place it on an elevated, open structure to ensure optimal ventilation.

1. Self-watering via cotton wicks (capillary irrigation)
2. Dual-chamber design (upper for soil, lower for water storage)
3. Bottom ventilation to prevent root rot
4. Elevated placement suggestion for better airflow
