How does a wicking system work for self-watering?
In a wicking system, a wick made of absorbent material, such as cotton or nylon, transfers water from a reservoir to the plant's soil. The wick is inserted into the soil and the other end is placed in the water. Water travels up the wick through capillary action, ensuring that the plant receives water as needed based on soil moisture levels.
