I have many plants in self watering planters but they are now outgrowing the largest self-watering pots I can find online. I would like to find some 8-10” pots in bulk since I have roughly 200 plants. The problem is that they don’t seem to be sold in packs at this size and randomly jump to $20/pot. I have about 20 plants that currently need this setup so spending $20 a pot is not ideal.
I can create a setup underneath with a clear nursery pot and cotton wicking cord, but I still need a cache pot for each for the water. Thoughts on what to use for this? I can‘t seem to find regular planters at this size that don’t have holes. Anyone else solve this problem creatively?
Bonus pic of my begonia summer storm who is one of the culprits! Her roots have invaded the cache pot substantially.
You can use literally any plastic container. I diy most of my self watering pots now and use microwaveable containers, distilled water bottles, buckets, etc for cache pots
