Every year I bring my citrus trees in for the winter and they throw a fit… they dry out, drop leaves, and clearly struggle. I thought I would make some self-watering (wicking) pots so they could access to several gallons of water, without sitting in soggy roots. Here’s how I’m making large, inexpensive self-watering pots for around $20 to upgrade my summer-loving citrus trees. And bonus, this method would make a great planter for tomatoes, peppers, mixed mini gardens, and other tree types as well. I filmed this a few months ago but I wanted to make sure it would work before sharing. I’ve made five of these pots so far and my trees are thriving! I’ll post an update to show you soon, because I also have one more item I’ve added to make these pots even better.
