I have a self-watering pot in use right now. It's nice because you never have to wonder if the plant needs water. Another self-watering trick is to use a cotton shoelace. Place one end in a glass of water and the other end in the soil of a plant. The plant will "drink" the water through the shoelace. It must be cotton to work.
