Waterer idea

Anyone seen anything like this? It's from a post elsewhere. I ask because I have about 4 of those planters and beaucoup water bottles.

That’s interesting. You’ll have to post a picture if you do it!

Terracotta pots that are designed for plants are porous and tends to lose water fast through evaporation. It's also impossible to sanitize because it's porous and all type of bacteria and algae live deep inside the terracotta. Terracotta in fact is very good for fermentation, because yeasts and good bacteria can colonize the pot walls.
If it's an used pot, it also absorbs any sort of chemical (fertilizer or pesticide) that might have been used in the past and release it in the water. We never use terracotta pots to cultivate carnivorous plants for this exact reason.
