Self watering recycled plant pot for growing herbs and flowers

Step 4 Cutting the bottle

I used a marker to draw a line on the soda bottle to use as a guide when I cut it with scissors. The two parts that I was left with are the cup and the reservoir.

When the cup is inverted (with the neck down) and put inside the bottle, it should not touch the bottom. There should be about 2 inches of clearance so that the wick can dangle in the water but the cap cannot touch it.
