Interesting experiment, but if this is exposed to the outside I wonder
if the sun and dryness of the open air will affect the amount of water
that makes it to the plant. On a hot day I could see the exposed wick
drying out and cutting off the target

I've also found indications that synthetic fibers, like nylon and
polypro, offer better wicking action than cotton.
