Create a Simple Houseplant Wicking System
Step 1: Lay one end of the cotton strip on the soil. Wrap it loosely around the base of the plant’s stem.
Step 2: Use your finger to gently dig into the soil of the first plant. Try not to disturb the roots. Bury the end of the cotton strip in the dirt.
Step 3: Fill the tall, large bowl with water, and set it next to the plant. Place the other end of the cotton strip in the bowl of water. Be sure that the strip increases elevation as it spans between the plant and the container of water. The water will slowly wick over, from the bowl to the soil, via the cotton.
