1. Cut a strip of rope or cloth that’s long enough to connect the container with water to the plant’s pot.

2. Place one end of the rope into the water and insert the other about half an inch to 1 inch (1 to 2 centimeters) into the potting soil.

3. If the rope or fabric floats on the water without really sinking to the bottom of the container, tie something heavy, like a rock, to the end. That will keep the rope underwater.

4. Place the water container in a higher spot than the base of the pot. This will help the water flow better thorough capillary motion. Plants will pull water through the roots until it has enough.
