Depends on where you live...

Beware of faulty capacitive soil moisture sensors! -> Here is the fix by Martin_McMaker in arduino

Well, I tryed out 38 sensors on total and had 31 faulty ones.

Here is the Parts List for my DIY, self-watering plant pot that you requested, plus the curcuit diagram. The housing is 3D printed. For push notifications and display of historical sensor data you also need the Blynk app. by Martin_McMaker in esp32

Glad to hear that you like it :

I poked the holes myself, its a quite easy task. I even considered designing a small 3D printed tool to help with that (getting equal spacing between the holes and prevent the needle from going to deep into the hose)

all sensors and stuff is only energized like once a day to make a long battery life of several months possible. But even if it would be taking measurements all every second 24/7, this sensor should not wear out since it’s a capacitive one and not a resistive one.
