A water reservoir outside and an inner pot hanging on its rim, with a hole for a wick. The plant draws water by itself. Pick the shape, texture and size; preview in 3D and get the STL. Without the inner pot, it's a pot cover.

- Print both upright, no supports. The inner pot's rim opens at 45°.
- Plain PLA isn't guaranteed watertight: use 3+ walls (perimeters) on the reservoir, or PETG.
- Wick: a cotton cord (or strip of cloth) through the bottom hole down to the water. Wet it first.
- Water goes in through the recessed channel on the side of the inner pot, without lifting the plant.
