Alternate Ways to Use WicR

Think Outside the Pot: Unexpected Ways WicR Can Elevate Your Plant Game!

We all know and love WicR for its ingenious self-watering system, keeping our beloved green companions consistently hydrated. But did you know this little marvel has even more tricks up its sleeve? Get ready to have your mind blown (and your plants even happier!) with these non-traditional, yet incredibly effective, ways to utilize your WicR.

Bottoms Up for Happy Roots!

Tired of those pesky water spots on your delicate African Violet leaves? Wish there was a gentler way to quench the thirst of your moisture-sensitive plants? Well, look no further! The clever design of WicR allows you to easily adapt it for bottom watering.

Here's how it works:

Simply place your plant pot directly on top of the WicR lid, carefully threading the wicks up through the drainage hole of your pot.

Voila! Your plant can now drink at its own pace, drawing moisture up through the wicks directly to its roots. This method is fantastic for plants like African Violets, orchids, and other sensitive species that thrive with consistent moisture from below and dislike having their foliage wet.

The best part? Refilling the reservoir remains a breeze! Just lift the pot and the WicR lid together to replenish the water supply.

Less is More: The Two-Wick Wonder for Dryer Soil Preferences

Do you have plants that prefer their soil on the slightly drier side? Perhaps you've found the standard four-wick system keeps things a little too moist for their liking? Fear not, WicR has a solution for that too!

Introducing the two-wick method for controlled hydration:

* Take one wick and tie a simple knot at one end.

* Pass the unknotted end of the wick through one of the holes in the WicR lid, going from the top down.

* Cross the wick over the center guide on the underside of the lid.

* Bring the same wick back up through the opposite hole in the lid.

* Repeat this process with the second wick, using two separate holes.

By using only two wicks in this manner, you significantly reduce the amount of water being drawn up to your plant. This creates the perfect environment for plants that appreciate a little more breathing room between waterings.
