Convert old CD packaging into a flower pot

Step 2: Make holes in the top pot

Make several holes (at least 6) in the bottom of the top pot. This will be the pot that holds your plant. I used a Dremel with a 1/8" drill bit. The holes allow the excess water to drain out of the bottom so you don't get root rot.

i would make the holes, stick a clean cloth in the hole fill, and the bottom drum with water. the cloth soakes up the water so you don't need to worry about forgeting to water the plant.

I was thinking the same as I read the instructable. I grow African Violets in 2 piece pots that use a piece of cloth to wick the water up to the plant. You can use just about any kind of thick string or fabric for wicking. You can water from top, excess water going into bottom trap, wick pulls it right back up. If bottom trap is empty, time to water!
