Self watering pot question! So I got these pots mounded on the wall- they’re 4” self water pots. I only filled them up half cup water..what do I do when it comes time to fertilize? I use liquid fertilizer.. it’s a wick system. Also they are in their original nursery pots for now just inserted in the pot..

Thank u!! 🙏

I just add a bit of fertilizer in with the water. It's seemed to work so far

Don’t use chemicals use beet juice or cinnamon coffee water
