I recently bought self-watering pots and had put off using them. Watch me using them in this video and show you how.

Those are really nicely designed wicking pots. They will really be very helpful with maintenance. Very cool video. I have never seen a wicking style pot that has the clear bottom design, neato!!

Your plant is beautiful and very healthy.

Good luck to the plant. Look forward to the results.

[@houseplantessentials]

I hope there are good results lol

[@fredhampton8026]

Thanks for the informative video. I am looking forward to seeing the follow-up video. ☺

[@houseplantessentials]

Thanks for watching! It'll be interesting to see how the plant does. I have another Pothos in one too.

@@houseplantessentials I hope they work out as I would like to use self-watering pots. Will you be monitoring the soil moisture with your moister meter? You stated you have never lost a plant from overwatering or underwatering by using your moister meter. I hope this works as well as bottom watering. Good luck ! 😊

@@fredhampton8026 I had to add more water to the pot a couple days ago. I used my moisture meter on the soil and come to find out, the soil’s not overly saturated. So that’s good. So far so good 😊

@@fredhampton8026 Now here’s the test to see if any yellowing of the leaves occurs

[@fredhampton8026]

@@houseplantessentials Thanks for the update. I guess you found my post from 6 days ago. Good! 😀

[@johanlarsson9805]

10:00 why isnt the water clean in the bottom? Didn't you water through the side?

[@gorringeman]

You put the cord in the wrong way mate the two ends trail in the water

[@fredericlabrecque5842]

Would this work with a large pot with a false bottom to moisten my 6ft moss pole?

[@thatonedog819]

Wager your pole from the top and it'll all end up in the pot too. Sydney plant guy has a good video on it

[@curiouskittenn]

@@thatonedog819 what is wager

[@joshyr08]

i cant find the update video

[@curiouskittenn]

i don’t think ur suppose to tape any of the string or even use 2 strings…. you loop 1 string

[@connitahill7478]

I couldn’t find the update 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@jchaireasy]

Is there any updates?

[@marcelaa.7112]

Good question

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

this kind of self watering pot killed my snake plant 🤣

[@thatonedog819]

Snake plants don't like to stay moist. I would use this on calathea and ferns. Not snake plants.

[@Twinleo1]

@@thatonedog819 snake plants love to be dry, like a succulent. They aren’t a good plant to put in a pot like this since they like to be watered once a month.

You did this wrong. Omg
