Rocket Shaped Self Watering Pot

This is a rocket shaped watering pot. To water this plant you have to put water into the funnel, it goes down the tube to the bottom of the rocket and the plant which is in the upper part, absorbs the water by capillar energy, so it gets the water it needs. I did this because I wanted a new style pot and I wanted to get over my self and I think I did a really good work so I'm happy just with that.
