I’m researching info on self watering pots. For the rope that is needed to siphon water into the pot, what kind of rope is best? Polyester or cotton or ???.

I would say cotton. Cotton fabric is more absorbent than polyester fabric.

It doesn't matter honestly. Ive seen everything from yarn to hemp rope. It all works to draw water up

I hate to ask…😬, but do you use this method of self watering, what do you think of it, and, if so, what kind of rope do you use? TIA!
