The water is absorbed by the exposed wick at one end, travels inside the covering and drips out of the exposed inner wick at the other; it does not come out of the length, although the length does become slightly damp. I did not need to, but I suspect you could loop the damp cord around the base of the plant. If you need a greater discharge, expose a longer length of wick at the end(s) or use a second length of cord. If you need a lesser discharge, shorten the length of exposed wick or tie a knot in the cord !The reservoir container can be below the level of the receiving pot but not by much. Mine is level with the top of a 3" deep plant pot and I have had no problems with it drawing water from the bottom of the reservoir to the top of the plant-pot. It will draw water up as well as across but probably not up great distances. You cannot daisy-chain these, one cord for each plant pot. A great idea to pre-soak each length before use and make a small peg hoop with wire to stop it falling out of the target pot.Certainly you would need to play with this for a day or two to get the amounts etc correct and ensure the plant pots can drain any surplus, but these are so cheap and simple in operation they simply cannot be faulted ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 April 2026* Brilliant for going on holiday in a drought season. Nothing died, but one succulent drowned!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple but effective automatic plant waterer *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 May 2026* This really works. Simple but effective. Waters your plant for you whetheryou are at home or not. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/407713744-orimerc-9m-3mm-diameter-self-watering-wick-cord-vacation-plant](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/407713744-orimerc-9m-3mm-diameter-self-watering-wick-cord-vacation-plant) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
