Any advice regarding this rope will be much appreciated.

It should just be cotton. The only issue you'd run into is if the plant didn't like to be wet often #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. 100% cotton! Should I just use it on my tropical plants, and not my philodendrons, or plants that like to be dry before they’re watered? Have you used this before, and did you like the results? Any tips would be appreciated… TIA! #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. I've only used wick in two plants so far. A PP philodendron and a rhaphidophora tetrasperma. They both seem to like it. The rhaphidophora especially i got it as a single leaf just before Christmas and it's got like 3-4 leaves now #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. Can you send me a couple of pics about how this looks, and works? TIA! ### Mads님이 2025-02-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. What kind of plant(s) were you thinking of using it with? I have a Homalomena set up this way and she LOVES it. #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. Who’s counting… Any, and, or all? ### Lgroener님이 2025-02-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. My fiddle fig is self watered via a smaller rope and is thriving! I vote give it a shot. Good luck! #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. TXS for the encouragement… I’ll definitely give this a try! #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. Can you tell me a bit about how this mechanically looks and works? Maybe a picture or two would be great… TIA! ### Lgroener님이 2025-02-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. I bought the planter already ready to go, but here are some pics ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/plfSxd9Fbid80GsYowHyNYU0h_3qqJHlRvGtSRt-Zs4/aB0sSJW3TB6CFHt96sLqbw.webp?size=large) #### Lgroener님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/plfSxd9Fbid80GsYowHyNYU0h_3qqJHlRvGtSRt-Zs4/dkyng8olQgSYnCWIclUoEw.webp?size=large) #### Angie님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. I have this same one! ### Lgroener님이 2025-02-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. So the pedestal in the middle keeps the plant from sitting in the water and just the string stays wet. Like I said - I bought it this way, so I’m not sure what the rope looks like under the plant…I hope this helps! #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. Yes, your pictures definitely helped! I learn through seeing most of the time, and your pictures were very useful. Can you tell me the manufacturers name of the self watering pots you used, and if you liked them, or not? (and any other useful tidbits… 🙃!) TIA! ! #### Lynda님이 2025-02-09에 답변했습니다. When you use the self watering pots, and there is string that dips into a water well, did you ever have to actually water your plant when using the self watering pot? TIA! ### Angie님이 2025-02-09에 댓글을 남겼어요. My rose painted calathea seems to really like it, it's in a self watering pot with the rope. I find that it's quite thirsty and the rope helps mitigate how often I water --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
