Sub-irrigated (self-watering) planter insert compatible with my 100mm planter pot designs.

 

On the bottom of the insert there are two built-in break-away support panels. You should be able to snap them off easily. The squares on the bottom have a single-layer of filament. It's optional whether you remove these strands. The purpose is to provide air flow and better drainage to prevent excess water in the soil. The filament strands should not affect functionality.

 

An optional floating water level indicator is included. The stick is a tight fit and you'll likely need to sand the sides on both ends to fit.

 

I've included a basic planter pot on the 4th plate.
