How to Use Wicks to Water Plants
What a great idea -- Just sharing the art -
- Make sure your plant is already potted in a pot with a drainage hole.
- If it is not,
- you should use this opportunity of creating a wick watering system to replant it in a self-draining pot.
I will build the food that is needed for that plants ( Blue berry) and ( Blackberry)
I need two setups... But I can't have buckets on a patio
Make sure your plant is already potted in a pot with a drainage hole. If it is not, you should use this opportunity of creating a wick watering system to replant it in a self-draining pot.
Soak your wick or shoelace in water or EzE sweet TEA. Make a knot with the end of the wick or shoelace.
Stick the sharp end of a pencil through the shoelace or wick. You can also wrap the wick around the pencil. Make sure it is secured
Lift the plant from its pot. Take your time do not destroy the roots
Stick the pencil with the top of the wick into the root ball of your plant. Thread the bottom of the shoelace or wick through the draining hole in the pot.
Place the plant back into its pot with the wick now connected. Take care when you move the plant from now on. You do not want to tug hard and remove the wick
Place the plant above the water. For example,
you can place it on a any thing you have to work with just have the plant above the water container and let the wick fall into a
pitcher of water. The water will climb up the wick to feed the plant. You can just use an old bucket I put EzE sweet TEA and then add My own Nutrients as the plant goes through its cycles
