Plant Pot Riser for Wick Watering (Self-Watering Cache-Pot Insert)

A simple and practical plant pot riser that transforms any waterproof cache-pot into a wick-based self-watering system .

It lifts the inner nursery pot above a water reservoir, allowing you to hydrate your plants using the wick method .

A wicking system works through capillary action : an absorbent wick such as cotton rope or felt draws water from a reservoir into the soil, keeping it consistently moist and helping prevent dehydration.

This riser:

- Fits inside a waterproof cache-pot

- Supports a standard nursery pot above the water level

- Works with polyester rope, felt strips, or similar absorbent materials (avoid natural fibers)

- Can be scaled directly in your slicer to match any pot diameter or desired height

Print recommendation: Print in PETG for better moisture resistance and durability. The design scales easily to adapt to different pot sizes and reservoir depths.

A simple upgrade for healthier plants with less frequent watering.
