      Another Idea may be using a small plastic or rubber tube and running it behind one of the dowels up to the pot then using a syringe to push water to the top of the pot. She would just need to make sure to push air through afterward in order to prevent water from rushing back out of the tube. Or using an Archimedes screw-type structure but that would need to be bigger and probably need a lot more critical thinking than I am willing to give to this comment.

    I have the perfect solution for watering your lovely plamp: a pressurized watering can with a wand that reaches up high. I built one to water all my high-up plants and it works wonderfully. I took a 1-gallon pump sprayer and replaced the spray tip with a copper tube extension that I bent in a J-shape. Then I took the rubber cap off a spring door stopper and cut an X in it, then used that as the cap for the copper tube, so it doesn't drip out when I'm not spraying. The pump sprayer even came with a shoulder strap, so I can easily carry it around while I water things.

      @@redinabloogs8477 i dont have any on hand unfortunately but its quite literally as simple as getting some vinyl tubing for example and then attaching it in such a way that one end is dropping into the plant pot and another is attached to a pump, from there you just need to figure out the rest of it. You could set up an automatic pump system if you bothered or go as simple as a manually operated pump.
      Though this is intended as a permanent setup so may not be quite what you were looking for, you could do something similar in attaching a tube to a long arm on a portable setup, but that's not something i want to get into now.

    Disco plamp!
    I made a automatic watering system for a friend of mine, she has three big plants hanging really high. It's just the sensors in the pots, some solenoid valves and some meters of these plastic water pipes used for ice makes in refrigerator doors and thing like this. It will take about four minutes to get enough water through these thin piping, but time is not really important if it runs by itself.
    Also added a securety feature: If the valve is open for two minutes and there is no real difference on the sensor, the system will close the valve and send an alarm message (yeah, it have wifi!). So a bad sensor or a broken pipe will not flood the room.

    First of all, I love Plamp and want one for myself please! Second, Simone, go to your local plant shop and pick up a continuous water globe. They're really pretty and not very expensive, and all you do is fill the thing with water, carefully get withing eye level of your plant, then quickly turn the globe over while holding it over your plant, then push the spout part of the water globe into the plants soil close to the center of the "root ball". The water globe will water you plant "at will" continuously, for about 2-4 weeks, depending on how thirsty your plant is. All you have to do is set a reminder in you phone to check the water globe every couple weeks. When it's empty, refill the globe. It's much, much safer!
