If you’re new to plant care and worried about forgetting to water, this easy DIY self-watering planter is your new best friend. It’s perfect for houseplants or small herbs and helps prevent over- or under-watering.
What You’ll Need:
- A plastic water bottle (with cap)
- A pot with soil and a plant

How to Make It:
- Clean the bottle and fill it with water.
- Poke a small hole in the bottle cap using a nail or knife.
- Quickly flip the bottle and push it into the soil near the roots.
