Self-Watering Plantling Cup – Wicking Pot

Self-Watering Plantling Pot System 🌿

Designed for the next stage of growth after corm propagation, this system provides a clean, efficient self-watering setup for plantlings that have outgrown humidity domes.

Ideal for transitioning young plants into a more stable environment while maintaining consistent moisture levels.

🌱 How It Works

This design includes:

• Outer pot with integrated water reservoir
• Inner insert cup with drainage cut-outs
• Removable base for easy plant removal

The inner cup sits securely inside the outer pot, with space below acting as a water reservoir. A wicking cord draws moisture upward, providing a consistent water supply to the plant.
