That's what I was thinking. In a pot that big I would have added at least 4/5 wicks. Marantas are really good growers and I feel they need alot more water then what one string can give
LOVE! But can we also talk about the vine and beads and Staghorn mount on the wall in the background?!!! I just recently got a piper crocatum and staghorn that I would LOVE to do that with!!! Was gutted yesterday when I was watering pots and legit tore 2 of the 3 pipers leaves off 🤦🏻♀️ 😢… the most beautiful leaves I’ve ever seen too… I hope it recovers because now the poor thing is just a vine with 1 leaf… but anyway in my mind I can have the trailing bead wall like you 😅 🙏 (please send help lol 😂🫠)
The plant will not decide how much water to take up and live unaffected. It could just be sitting in water if you use too much water once it's had enough which can lead to root rot. I like self-watering pots too but that's not how plants work.
I'm pretty sure you want the wick to be longer and travel through more of the soil

Please show us how this plant looks in a month! Im thinking more wick may be needed
Using a dollar tree plastic bowl is far less expensive as that target bowl is $25

For me self watering pots are a must for my marantas.. Didn't realize how big they can get. Thanks for this diy inspiring me thinking out of the box 🪴
I love the idea and look but you should have looked farther for plastic or ceramic pots. No matter how well you sealed them wood will deteriorate. 🪴❤️
Awesome 👍
OMG…love this idea!!
That’s look sooo good!
Great idea! Thank you for sharing
Thats pretty neat great Ideal
FABULOUS!
Drill a hole in bottom planter to fill and check level
Nice one! Love that's a diy, now I can do the best with some second hand pots
Very cute 🥰
I love it!
How does this water the plant? The wick is so small
Just like taking the plant and sitting in a bowl of water alot of plants are bottom feeders 😉
Dude! Super brilliant
We’re did you purchase wicks ❤

With all of her plants i pretty sure she knows whats she talking about
@@joanneholden5475 having plants doesn't confer knowledge of biology
This makes no sense. The whole wic cannot be in the bottom. No way to get the plant the amount of water needed
Exacly my thoughts
Es una excelente idea, funciona? Alguien lo ha probado?
Same
Lo quiero probar pero que tipo de hilo y en los comentarios dice que el hilo debe ser más largo y más largo entre la tierra.
Absolutely love your idea. The cleanest and easiest I have seen so far.
I think it's never going to work but you do whatever you whant i guess 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks Beautiful lady
I've read from experts that self watering pots are not a good idea to use. Just sayin....
