Wick self-watering with a 4 mm, 10 m cotton cord: steady moisture for indoor potted plants, no electricity.
Capillary self-watering system with a 4 mm cotton cord, 10 metres long. It carries water from a container to the pot through the wick, keeping the substrate moist automatically indoors.
It’s wick watering: the cotton cord absorbs water from a reservoir and passes it to the substrate as it dries. Perfect for indoor potted plants, for holidays or to give steady moisture to cuttings and seedlings without electricity.
A 4 mm-thick cotton cord, 10 m long, that you can cut into sections to serve several pots. Being natural cotton, it moves water by capillary action steadily and silently, with no pump or batteries.
Cut a length of cord, bury one end in the substrate near the root and dip the other into a water container placed higher or beside it. The wick will start carrying water; wet it at the start to activate the capillary effect and adjust the length to the plant’s thirst.
For its simplicity, its reusable 10 m cotton cord and its power-free operation. Average rating of 4.6/5 on Amazon.
