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 superior method as the soil doesn't get excessively waterlogged.

The "main" part can be used alone, but there is an optional tripod kit which can be used to support a lanky plant.

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.

Improved / Lightweight design:

I have two designs for this purpose, and this is the original one which is perhaps the more robust option. The other, newer, type 4864503 is much more economical of time and material, though it does lack the tripod option.
