Self-watering pitcher plant

Self-watering pitcher plant is a plant-like container that holds about 100ml of water and gradually releases it into the soil through a small hole in the bottom. This is great for medium pots that you want to stay perfectly hydrated while you’re not around.

It's a print-in-place model. No supports are needed. The model can be split into parts and colored differently (flower and stem can be in different colors).

Important!

The hole size may vary slightly depending on the filament and printer. Please print the test model first to determine which version you need — with a smaller or larger hole.

If the hole is too small, you can carefully enlarge it using a hot needle. If water drains too quickly, you can slightly reduce the opening by gently warming it with a lighter to soften the plastic.
