[@RobertKreegier]

Or alternatively "At one point or another, we've all said to ourselves 'I really wish my high heels were higher,' so I invented Higher Heels, with adjustable heels that extend up to three feet. No, they're not repurposed 36" ratcheting bar clamps/spreaders screwed onto the backs of my shoes. You're eyes deceive you. They're Higher Heels. For when you need to assert your dominance through fashion."

[@simongriggs8387]

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.

[@jeffkal]

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.

[@robbailey9344]

this is fucking genius. thank you for sharing your idea

[@killingtimeitself]

you could also install a watering tube, then make an automated system that waters it and all you have to do is make sure it runs.

[@redinabloogs8477]

Can u post photos or a link to photos?.. I need to see it...I'm a visual person...cuz it sounds like a great idea...I have lots of places I want to hang plant's BUT I'm VERY SHORT and watering is a problem.

[@killingtimeitself]

@@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.

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!

[@analogMensch]

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.

This Plamp idea is also a great way to indirectly ensure that the plant will receive an extra amount of light aid right on its leafs, during winter months. Brilliant!!

[@emg508]

You realise normal lamps don’t provide uv light that plants actually need?

[@heldersilva6672]

@@emg508 Hello, Emilia! Yes, I know that. That's exactly why I used the "extra" "aid" expressions in my comment. Normal lamps don't emit light in the full spectrum, but can actualy be used in the growth assistance of low-light and medium-light categories of plants (indoor plants). But sunlight exposure (direct or indirect depending on the plant) is always needed (viewing the video, I noticed Simone has sunlight exposure). The secret is in the choice of the light. If necessary, there are special growth lights availabe in the markets, depending on the type of plant you're growing. But in this case, having indirect sunlight exposure available, a simple LED or bulb light is enough for that extra care gain. 10 to 20 watts will do just fine. Fluorescent lamps however, would be a useless idea. P.S.: I know all this because my mom was a flowers lady, especialy a 'Orchid addict', and we always had tons of plants at home. 😅 And my sister suffers from the same addiction. Also, I've been in the flowers business in the past, so i guess i got it from there. 😅

i'm a new fan after seeing you on creativity explained. thank you for being your authentic self and sharing your wild imagination with us... I NEED A PLAMP IN MY LIFE NOW

[@MrPaw45]

The prototype was the finished product, marvelous. That ending cracked me up.

[@oneveryweirdgirl]

I'd like to recommend watering bulbs for this plamp - as long as you can reach to refill it and stick it back in, it's fine! Easier than tipping a watering can that far.

[@j.wa.1061]

yeah, that was my thought. Definitely easier than climbing up a ladder every few days.

[@Mica1]

Great idea!

[@dunderheadgood]

good idea as long as it’s not glass!

[@alexthespooder7544]

"Maybe if I wear high heels" was not something I wanted to hear, genuinely terrified

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Simone has to stop creating occupational hazards for herself.

[@kiwipeanut4834]

The „its just a prototype“ mentality is sooo good, when i pain i usually tell myself that i will throw it in the trash after im done, if i do like it i dont have to and if i dont im not disappointed because it was my intention all along

[@A.Mere.Creator]

Woah this is awesome! I made a similar video combining a vine and a lamp I should’ve called it a Vlamp :)

[@weavery4292]

I've been going through some rough stuff recently, & this video really helped me relax & calm down & take my mind off of things for a bit. After all, the world can't be that bad if Plamp exists & is loved~

[@BlackDogsAndLadybugs]

I hope you're doing alright, and that the endearing nature of Plamp helps you grow and shine in your own way! ꓷ: Super cheesy, but true! Stay safe. :]

[@Nikenik2001]

I love Plamp.

[@Laarrrieeee]

KZbin must love plamps because they recommended this after your latest plamp creation. VIVE LA PLAMP

[@merelbakker7622]

Simone: "I made a big, ugly, heavy pot". Me: Loves it. It looks kinda cool, I would definitely put it somewhere! Simone: ..."Don't get attached!"

[@jeng3805]

Simone sitting and hammering the lamp. "Guess I should be actually sitting for this" Me: I thought she was 😮

[@gregernst1622]

I really love this. I'm not sure why but the idea of combining plants with technology is always something I really really love. I always thing of abandoned places or post apocalyptic shows, where you just see plants taking over once inhabited places, thinking that nature always finds a way despite how mankind always tries to curb it.

[@kalli-ope]

For watering it, you could also use a squirt bottle with a bent neck. I know it from Chemistry lessons at school where it was used to spray water into things that would react violently, and it was meant to create distance between the waterer and the water exit point while still being accurate.

[@Penster-Elle]

Simone just makes me happy. I watch her videos and it's impossible not to smile and maybe let a wee giggle out. Happy is good.

[@StudioHannah]

Something I never knew I needed in my life - a plamp….. WAIT A SECOND, I made one of these! Haha, mine is smaller and less impressive, but I hung my plants in macrame wall holders so my cat wouldn’t eat them, and made one of them a light for over my bed. Mine has a fake plant in it because I was afraid to combine water and electricity, but you can’t tell from afar. I really like it :) One day maybe I’ll make a chandelier like Simone!

[@fluorescentblack4336]

The explanation of the psychology "its just a prototype" is really good advice! Great video. Love your inventions and your channel

[@nicopico916]

The little laugh with the barely audible snort at the end of the video was my favorite part (besides dropping the water can). You must be fun to hang out with if you can laugh at yourself whilst being witty and handy! Kudos to another STEAM LADY BOSS!

[@shinigamisecret]

9:00 I love this song you use for every video. It always feels like something is being accomplished

[@seniorerotico]

I recently started embroidery and I always try to channel Simone energy; pure creativity, present in the act of creation and enjoyment regardless of perfection; it's just a prototype.

[@tylerquarterman8571]

Less than a minute in and I’m dying of laughter. Love the results! You put the plamp body together faster & more smoothly than a lot of the woodworkers I see on KZbin! One request: Can we hear some Simone music on those keyboards in the living room?

[@stephanegli3160]

Saw her randomly at the DMV today. Too bad I didnt get to chat with her more. What a genuine and funny person she is. 👍✌ Also I wonder if she was trying to register her Tesla pickup lol

[@nic12344]

Whenever I say "it's just a prototype" or "It's just a temporary fix", I always end up using it for years...

[@coena9377]

High heels might make you taller, but they don’t offer much stability. In future, if Simone is going to stand on a barstool to water her light fixture and needs a bit of extra height, I’d recommend… *plamp*-form boots.

[@ssn608]

Please...please, no more high heels, platform shoes, or even bare feet standing on top of a stool or any elevated surface without secure handholds. One day it won't be your watering can that falls, and I will be very, very sad when your videos stop. And Scraps would miss you too. Practice safety for her, if not for me, your fan.

Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes to keep plants happy instead of chopping them up, I like my plants looking like they do in the wild. Great solution!

[@phukyerpheefees]

Next project: A way to water the plamp that doesn't involve giant ladders or wearing heels on a barstool.

[@juliarichards5414]

I love the music simone uses for her videos! The end music when she's finishing a project always fits so well! Also this project is amazing 👏 and I legitimately want to make/buy one for my plant obsessed friend!

[@cappunocci9211]

"This is a prototype." Not everything has to be a prototype if you care enough for it, and it works. Enjoyed watching this! Great solution (only for you to put another plant back in the same spot. That was cute.) I now have a lamp design that I could potentially incorporate in my future tiny home!

[@RussellSprague]

so many good one liners! "it's like fake boobs, but a plant" that one killed me:)
