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
Thank you for making this video!! I was planning on buying from "easy plant" today, but was kinda shocked by their prices!! for the plants I wanted it was $1300.00 for five plants!
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

Agreed , the knots fine, just needs more length
Please show us how this plant looks in a month! Im thinking more wick may be needed

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 🪴
Great idea! Thank you for sharing
OMG…love this idea!!
That’s look sooo good!
Awesome 👍
Thats pretty neat great Ideal
Using a dollar tree plastic bowl is far less expensive as that target bowl is $25
Drill a hole in bottom planter to fill and check level
Very cute 🥰
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 😉
FABULOUS!
Nice one! Love that's a diy, now I can do the best with some second hand pots
I love it!

With all of her plants i pretty sure she knows whats she talking about
@@joanneholden5475 having plants doesn't confer knowledge of biology
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. 🪴❤️
Dude! Super brilliant
We’re did you purchase wicks ❤
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.
I feel like the way my cats are.... .... they would find a way to knock it off the base.... on purpose.
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....
