DIY Self-Watering Houseplant Pot - Family Plot

[@shellyhickey1528]

She was saying the foam was expensive, I'll use a dollar store pool noodle. This was very informative, and I appreciated the content.

[@silcalderale]

BY FAR, the best DIY watering system I've seen on KZbin!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Thanks!

[@butterflyj685]

Wow! Tonya was amazing. This was the best self wicking assembly example I've seen. Please invite her back for other plant projects.

[@Peleski]

Cool idea. Put a little cocktail umbrella in the top of the bobber straw so it's easy to see when to water

[@mnp870]

This is the easiest & least expensive I’ve seen so far.

[@JoJo-vv9rs]

I love the guy she’s talking to.... it’s cute when he says how about that 😊... not sure if he is into gardening but he had me convinced. Great video

[@deltatango6793]

Thanks for watching.

[@danielgomes4754]

For finding the level of water, Just take a wooden stick and dip it in to find the level just like a Lube oil dip stick.

[@cyc7lops]

GREAT video...thanks!

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Glad to help!

[@dfpressler1243]

Awesome video! Thank ya so much!

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Your welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@tamaraquarve6760]

Great Video - Can self-watering wicking rope/cord be used in place of capillary mat fabric? Thank you.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

I am not sure, but it might work. As with a lot in gardening, see if it works.

[@tamsondarland8951]

Could you plant container tomato plants this way for watering same method?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

I have not tried this. It might work. Tomatoes can drink a gallon a day so you would need a big reservoir on a large plant

[@tamsondarland8951]

@@FamilyPlotGarden Thank you so very much for your info. I'm here in Kentucky. Near Bardstown. I truly enjoy this channel so very much. I've been subscriber for a while. Excellent information and videos very well done. Love Tamson 😇❤

[@wandajones9220]

Like the instructions for making the system. Particularly good to know there are certain plants that won't work. However, I have been looking for the tubing you used in the video. Will you give a link for the product or just the product brand? Thank you.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

I am not sure where she got the tubing, but I have been able to find similar by googling: polycarbonate tubing" or "hard plastic tubing" You could probable use some pipe if you have it laying around, it would be more visible though.

[@lindagiesige9667]

try the sleeves for flourescent bulbs@@FamilyPlotGarden

[@yiliao123]

Can I use felt instead of capillary matting?

[@tinaspigener2102]

[@qpollard6573]

Fiddle lead tree?

[@osmos2017]

So did the water level only come up to the riser, or do you go all the way to the top of the outer decorative pot?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

To the top of the riser. You don't want the plant's soil to be underwater, as that will create root rot. Thanks.
