First try on yet another self-wicking planter.
The base offers an easy control over water-level and is easy to refill.
It's enough for one or two weeks depending on the plant.
So you will have to check and keep a relation to the plant and also the water will not get foul.
In the top part there is a centering below which can be drilled through to fit the wicking-media of your choice. I've used a cocoa-cord.
The plant on the picture already survived several month so I think the design is somewhat okay.
Update Base #4 v4:
Made the supports on base somewhat higher and added holes to save some material.
The water reservoir was slightly increased.
