Wick self-watering with a 4 mm, 10 m cotton cord: steady moisture for indoor potted plants, no electricity.

Wick watering: 10 m cotton cord for potted plants

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.

What it is and what it’s for

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.

Materials and performance

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.

How to use it

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.

Why choose this system?

For its simplicity, its reusable 10 m cotton cord and its power-free operation. Average rating of 4.6/5 on Amazon.
