Preliminary Research

Your group will need to research at least four other self-watering planters. The point of this is to learn the basic structure and parts of a self-watering container. 

You will need to choose the best design aspects from each example and tie them together in a totally original design. Your design must not be an entire replica of any other design. Think about cost, ease of building, supply availability, as well as how well the design works in watering your plant.

For each you will need to fill out the Planter Design Research Organizer

You will also need to research plant care for your plant including sunlight requirements, water requirements, fertilizer needs, and temperature requirements. record your research and proposed modifications in the Planter Design Research Organizer.
