Materials needed: 3 Home Depot pots, can be ceramic but plastic is easier to drill holes in
Water Pump- 3ft maximum
1/2 ID tubing (May vary with pump choice)
Drill
Hot Glue gun
Plant (optional)
Bowl (mine is metal, if you find a better one it is only used to hold the pots up)
Home Depot circular plant tray
Drill Holes in Second and Third Largest Pots
With the drill, make holes in the second and third largest pots. Afterwards, put the tubing through the holes ending in the second largest pot.
Hot Glue the Pots Together
Use hot glue to glue the bottom pot to the tray, the bowl to the pot, the second largest pot onto the bowl, the coffee can to the second pot, the third pot the can and the plant in the third pot.
Attach Pump to the Tubing

Add Decorations (optional)

You may add small rocks or paint the pots, but for the purposes of utilitarianism I left mine plain.
Finished!
