Self watering flower pot with rim

The Perfect Pot - A self watering pot adapted from the original by thegreenthumb. Violets want to have a soft rim to lay their leaves on so they don't get cut. So I used the original pot and added a nice rounded rim. You can drill/enlarge the center hole in the top half of the pot to insert a wick. Cotton will tend to rot, so get a nylon paracord for the wick (3mm or 1/8"). You will only need 1 wick. Make sure the wick goes up though the soil in the upper half and is not just laying on the bottom of the upper half. When first used, or if bottom and wick dry out, water from the top once to make sure the wick is fully wet to the top. Pictures show small, medium, and large pots. Large is at 100% size, medium at 83%, and small at 60%. But use whatever size you desire!
