For those who haven’t seen them, I’m a big fan of these “self watering” IKEA plant pots.

Basically that means there’s a reservoir at the bottom, a tube down, and a stick with Styrofoam on the end. The stick floats up when there’s water in there, so you don’t flood your plant.

Bottom watering is also great way to reduce things like fungus gnats, and apparently is better for your plants.

On top of all this they have shitty wheels on the bottom that make it way easier to move around big plants.

My problem was I have several large plants I want to put out for the summer and hook into my irrigation. A simple solution was just drilling a hole in the bottom, then shoving a rubber cork in it when its inside.

In the summer I just store the cork in the top of the tube (the orange bit).

It’s a simple hack but works really well.
