Summary

IKEA's Muskot ceramic plant pots are pleasing, affordable, and are made with a handy internal lip a few cm from the bottom - as if someone was going to add a partition there and create a water reservoir in the base...

... Ok, me then.

This design uses irrigation strings to wick the water up into the soil, which is a superior method as the soil doesn't get excessively waterlogged.

I have two designs for this purpose, and this one is much more economical of time and material. The other type 4864483 is a bit more robust, but really only worth doing if you need the tripod (stem support) feature.

You will need:

  • Muskot 12 cm pot, Ikea part number 50308196
  • Irrigation wick / self watering wick, 7 mm diameter. Preferably a synthetic type that's non-rotting.

Although I didn't remix anyone's models, there are at least several designs that operate in a similar way, including 2120583, 1705463, 4276363, 2724540.
