More thoughts on the project; all in all, despite the challenges we faced (or maybe because of the challenges!) we learned a ton on this project. First and foremost, due to lots of comments, we learned that succulents are probably not the best plants to put in our self watering planter (we actually had one die, but one lived and did so well it outgrew it!)
We love the look of a concrete planter, and we were able to get some really interesting curves because of the 3D printed mold we made, though you could definitely accomplish the same functionality just doing a mold out of wood or MDF if you don't have a 3D printer, which is a more DIY friendly option.
Overall, we love that this planter is self watering, we love the modern design, we love concrete as a material, and we love what we learned along the way. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Whoa cool i will sub to all of them
I already subbed to all of the
update on the plants?
How are the plants?? Did they work?
why would you need self watering planter.....for succulents ?
like just water them once/twice a month
Me: *builds a self watering plant container, forgets to fill it up with water*
+Aidan Schworer hahaha. Might be us at some point too. We are black thumbs
I am guilty of that too!
So true!
Sound like I might do something as silly as that
Would be me
These specific plants used would die anyway because succulents don't need constant access to water. Soil for succulents should be completely dry between waterings or they will drown from too much water or their roots will rot! Still pretty planters though
Thanks for the input, yeah we let it dry out between filling the reservoir :)
My sister's black thumb is because she always drowns cacti
I was looking to see if anyone saw that
Also augh, roots have nowhere to grow longer! D:
I was about to say that too 👋
am i the only one who knows i don't have any of this but still keep watching
Aww that's awesome!! Glad you stuck around and hope you enjoyed it :D
Me too lol
Me as well. I just enjoy Evan and Katlyns content! Haha!! 😅
Nope
Yea same
That's slick!! Such a pain, but nice work
Thanks Paul! Haha there were times it felt like everything was going wrong - but it made for some hilarity 😂
Hi, I know concrete is "IN" actually.
1)But concrete is verry bad for plants. So better you take some Ceramic casting Material. Some plants will die if the roots touch the concrete.It exist in all colors, because you can ad some colourpowder to it, so it will look like concrete.Weight is similar..
2) I am in Silicon casting (Figure Kit Builder & producer) there a lot of possibillitys to demould your master. Simply use Vaseline, or a spray (Teflon, etc) this will prevent that the silicon will adere/glue to your master. andd you can easyly deemould it.
3) great Video - I like it
4) sorry for my english - just imagine it in verry well written English ;-)
1) Thanks for the helpful input! We actually want to try ceramic casting soon, and also try plaster too!
2) I thought vaseline could damage some types of molds, but I'll see if its compatible with Oomoo 30. We usually use Mann 200 but unfortunately forgot to use it this time.
3) YAY, appreciate that :)
4) haha, it's great, had no trouble understanding it!
Sweet thanks! That makes sense :) this was flagged as spam but just found it and approved it!
Tell all of the crabgrass, grass and weeds not to grow between the cracks of my cement pavers that I made out of cement bc it's bad for them. It doesn't affect them one bit :( ....or is this only for 'house plants'? Maybe houseplants are more delicate? I didn't know that there even was a ceramic casting material. Tfs!
Heng Hilger Cement concrete is basic (contrary to acidic), so it should be good for plants.
What’s the reason you say so?
It might be dead right now this very moment
It’s nice to see how much there channel style has changed over the years
I know right!
Man, I remember when I first saw this video in my recommendation 5 years ago, it really encouraged me to do crafts! I was really into plants but was really lazy at watering them. When I found this video it showed me how it’s possible to make projects like this! Thanks Evan and Katelyn for all these years of keeping me inspired to create!
those turned out great. good to know I'm not the only non professional on TH-cam. I really need to think of a cool cement project.
Thanks Neil! Hahaha we are definitely far from pros so we are happy to know we're not alone either! Lots of cool stuff to do with cement, and learning how to make silicone molds has definitely been a game changer 👍
EvanAndKatelyn you guys should mass produce these and patent it
Good choice on the Aloe... always a good idea for makers to have a source of burn remedy around. Also, they're kinda hard to kill. :)
+Dosbomber Haha! You have two very good points! 👍👍
My housemate managed to kill his. He could probably kill a fake plant too. A Black Thumbed Gremlin he is.
+Benjamin Charlesworth hahaha! Killing a fake plant... that takes some real talent!
Dosbomber Poor choice, believe it or not. Succulents like that are actually harmed by constant moisture.
Our aloe lasted 3 years
a tip for people hoping to have houseplants in self-watering planters: make sure they're in sunny spots that get good air-circulation. Self-watering pots are great IF the water doesn't get stagnant, so you have to make sure they're in an area where they will actually dry out a bit. Otherwise you can end up with mold. I found this out the hard way. Just as a general rule, plants like decent amounts of water moving through the system they're in but would rather take low water than standing water. And remember to use a good medium that absorbs and holds onto water well but has good pore space between the grains to allow air in, because plants actually breathe oxygen in through their roots and if the roots drown, they stop functioning and your plants will paradoxically stop being able to take up water even if it's all around them
you guys were babies!! Oh my its amazing the progress you have made in just 5-6 years
Evan : hey guys we’re Evan and katelyn
Katelyn: ANd we CaNT KEeP A PlANt aLiVe
There's actually water soluble 3D printing filament out there ... that may have been easier to remove from the silicone mold. Also, nice video. It's refreshing to see, that not all projects go perfectly (as on many other YT-channels). I often find the trail and error part most interesting.
Yeah, I've really been wanting to get my hands on some of that!! Maybe for the next one 🙂 also, great you like projects that don't go perfectly, stick around here because we're still learning... so that stuff is inevitable lol 😋
Naturally, I already subscribed! But please don't think, that I'm only sticking around to watch you guys fail. Your stuff is incredibly well made, fun to watch and your projects are really creative.
Aww thanks so much Gavin! Appreciate that 😀
PVA filament, that is difficult to sand because it just evades and then jumps back into shape, and can't really be stored. Well maybe there is a way to store it, like in cat litter.
BTW, i suggest considering relief angles and using PVA spray release. What i mean by relief angles, if you look, you'll never find an injection moulded part where all walls are exactly vertical! Well outer walls may be, with more than 2 mold parts, but inner walls never are. They are always sloped by just a tiny fraction of a degree. Because else the part would get stuck in the steel mould and will never release. Now of course it will release from silicone, but it may still be helpful to design better releasability into your parts. Nobody is gonna know if the inside wall is slightly sloped, but the plug will have such a much easier time coming out.
Oh my gosh BABIES! Crazy how much difference 3 years can make!!
I love how they take the time to answer the comments 🥺
Literally laughed out loud at the silicone comment at the end 😂
Haha, thank you Kyle, at least we aren't the only ones laughing at our jokes 😜
Nelsoncraft TX I don't understand, can you guys elaborate please. I wouldn't wanna Miss out on a great laugh
chaotic Sequence go to 5:10 and see if you can figure it out 😂
BK201MXP goodness no
then what
First line: Hi, we’re Evan and Katelyn.
Second line: And we can’t keep a plant alive! 😁👍
Man, y'all are a happy bunch. It made me smile watching you guys have so much fun!
+Andrew L aw thank you! We have a lot of fun doing this stuff 😁😁
Did you guys choose your own background colors or decided together? Great little project. It will definitely take longer to kill plants this way for us. Thanks for sharing.
+Master of None we actually chose several colors each but we haven't painted them all yet 😋 Haha thank you! We hope for our plants to not die as soon as usual too 🌱
Hey guys I have never saw diy s like optic do so make more videos
+Ranbir Saggu thank you! We plan on making lots more 😄
Mosquitoes could breed there
+UnityGrave we let it dry out between filling
Great project guys! And great choice of plant! We know from experience that those are close to impossible to kill 👍💝😃
Don't take it as a challenge 😅
Thanks so much!! Hehe yeah we thought we'd start out in easy mode and see how well this works and then move on to harder plants... AKA orchids, lol.
they barely need watering....
I'm actually afraid that these need dry soil every now and again and that your wick will be too good. Any status report?
@@EvanAndKatelyn orchids actually more or less water themselves, just put them in a room with moist air and light without direct sunlight and they'll do the rest themselves😂👍 I have mine in the bathroom so they just water themselves whenever I take a shower, but the kitchen or a washing room will work just fine too👍 They love to be ignored and do best when they don't get "pampered"(over watered or too much sun).
that opening scene mustve taken AGES!
+Sean Hogan haha! It took a couple ages! Excite to incorporate more stop motion into our videos
It interesting to watch these old videos of you guys. Love katelyns costumer service voice over lol the editing is so different too.
I was wondering how the plant would be self-watering, and when you guys put in the rope I literally yelled "THAT IS BRILLIANT"
Good job! Wonderful project. So glad I found you guys
+Pamela Toh haha thank you!! We are glad you found us too!!
Very cool idea! Lots of plants like drinking from underneath so this could work in a lot of ways. Great job!!
Thanks Morgan! That's good to know, any advantage we can give a little plant in this black thumb household is a good thing! 👍
Dude laughs just like daithiDeNogla, love it!
It’s crazy looking back at these! There not to long ago but this is the first video I watched of you guys! I am now a fan who watches u every day! Well done guys! Keep up the great work!
Haha it is really crazy to see the difference between the old videos and new ones! Thanks for sticking around with us ❤️
Watching your old video. Love watching you guys slowly getting more more confident and comfortable in front of the camera, becoming the goofy funny E&K we know and love today. ❤️
The amount of patrons they have now be then!! 2019?😂
It's kinda crazy!
Omg you responded to me!

Evan: DONT TRY THIS AT HOME
😂😂
Its a DTTAHBIADIY "Dont try this at home but its a D I Y'
When concrete works it is wonderful, when it doesn't it SUCKS! great video and fantastic design.
Haha that's for sure. Still trying to get the handle on it since it's so versitile. I'd say this was in between but more on the working side :P Thanks so much for stopping by Hugo!
You guys are the OG DIYers! This is so cool!
+Lexie Perea thanks! We've gone from blogging to YouTubing but still DIYing away 😄😄
Beautiful! Love the design. Really think it turned out great... love how you succeeded regardless of the roadblocks. I really want to try a concrete project one of these days.
Also nice touch on the stop frame animation at the beginning!
+DN Handcrafted thank ya!! Haha yeah lots of roadblocks but we are really happy with how it turned out too! You should definitely try your hand at concrete- it's really fun to work with.
+DN Handcrafted haha thanks! We are pretty proud of that! We may have watched it on repeat for a while 😂
EvanAndKatelyn haha, I bet! If I had made it I would have watched it a lot!
Really cool animation at the beginning 😋 for some reason I was convinced that it can actually move by itself 😂😂. I personally think that concrete looks very nice on the surface, so good choice of material!
Thanks so much!! The stop motion animation was probably one of our favorite parts too 😁 hehe we tried to make it as "lifelike" as we could so glad you thought it could actually move itself, lol! Appreciate you stopping by and leaving a fun comment!
All this work for something so small and simple but GENIUS
+Dou DiySters haha we hoped to be able to make multiples with the mold so future ones would be easier, but... need to make a new mold haha. Thank you!
Awesome project, and very cool design.
+MakingLoCo thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback and glad you like it! Sending a special patron high five your way 😄
fun project guys!
Thanks Brad! Glad you like it!!
I LIKE how you guyz reply to almost every comment or maybe all of em I really hope you guyz don't stop replying when you are big youtubers
:D it helps to be part of a team! I hope so too, interacting with our little growing community is awesome
You guys are too adorable. I love how much work you put into these videos! I think you should have waaaaay more than 300 views.
THIS IS SO PRETTYYY OMG
Thanks so much Jennifer!
I love that you keep in the parts where you make mistakes too :) great tutorial
Thanks so much Natasha! Glad people have been liking that :D that way, when we are messing up, it's not as bad because what is bad for the project is good for the video, haha :P
p.s. Love what you're doing over on your channel too! We've been brainstorming on what we're going to do for Halloween this year and really hope to do a DIY on the costumes we come up with!
this is awesome guys! love
Thanks so much Sean!! Glad you like it!
Why does this only have 4 likes, love your vids btw
Very pretty. Very slick modern look. Would make a beautiful long table or fire place decor. Even better.. An indoor self watering herb garden for our busy chefs out there. Well done and thx for sharing 😊
+rnttreed i love the idea of an herb garden version! Thanks the the comment and ideas 😊
I just randomly watched this and wanna say you guys are awesome, I love your personality
Aw thank you!
Damn, so many replied comments. You guys sure know how to engage with the audience not like other youtubers. :P
We try!! thanks for stopping by our channel :D
Cool project, subbed.
+VampyRagDoll Thanks and thanks for subbing! Glad to have you in our little corner of TH-cam 😊
VampyRagDoll samehere.
If I didn’t have a commitment tomorrow morning, I would totally be up at this hour making this.
oh my god i'm so glad i found this channel, an adorable couple having fun messing around with creative diy is something i never thought i'd be watching
+Cheewii we're so glad you found us too! Hi! 👋👋
You should invest in a vacuum chamber to get all the ar bubbles in the silicone mixture before making it into a mould
Oh yeah we've had our eye on them for a while. Still not sure what size to get but we're narrowing down on a pretty modular system :) thanks for the input!
Just get vacuum pump and some steel pressure cooker. Make connection for the pump and your essentially done. Cooker has sturdy walls and its not like you are even able to make such a vacuum that would cause a issue. If you want to see inside, get peace of polycarbonate, make hole, bolt the window in place and dont forget to seal it.
Normal cooking pot would do(or any other similar container), but creating seal is bit harder. Its not impossible, for instance get peace of tractor inner wheel tube, make a seal ring, glue it into peace of metal or sealed wood and then build some kind of fasteners to help with initial vacuum creation.
Saw you guys on the Crafted podcast the other day but didn't catch the name. Saw a comment on one of Bob's new videos and thought, "I recognise that name", haha. Cross promotion win! Great little planter; never worked with silicone moulds before but it looks pretty rad
Wow that is great! So funny how that works out but so glad you found your way to our channel 🙂 yeah silicone is pretty exciting! Once you figure out the design and have a master mold you're good to go 👍 still in that learning process though lol
Thank you for showing that diy is not all smooth sailing! I laughed at the voiceover before the mold is going to rip.
+olioliwoo haha thank you! We try to keep it real 😋
Wow. This is so super cool!!!!! I’ve been watching you guys for a while, and I went back to some of your old videos, and they are just so funny as well as your newest ones!!!!! I love plants, and I’ve recently been struggling with some of them rotting due overwatering, being root bound, bring waterlogged, or water retention and I think that this will be a great solution! Thanks for the videos you make, you guys inspire me to be more creative and fun with everything I do. 😊❤
"how to"
As if i can afford a 3D printer 😔
there are 3d printers that are about 200 USD shipped
@@aampudia8 you can also send designs out to company's that print it for you for a price
The Illusion u don’t need one.. just make your own style
They gave an alternative to a 3D printer if you dont have one.
Look for maker spaces in a major city near you! I live in Seattle and there are like 15 close by that have 3D printers, tools, etc.
Even though that second batch didn't look like it mixed well, it seems to have worked. Good video and cool project! Do the burnt ends prevent any wicking?
Yeah the second mold actually came out really solid! Thankfully smoothon makes their stuff pretty forgiving lol. So far it seems to work well 😀 we filled the reservoir and let it sit for a few hours (soaking up water) then dumped the reservoir out, then waited another hour to see if the wick would release water... And it did! Way more than we thought. So it seems like it's able to soak up water and transport it 😁
This turned out great! Albeit a tough journey the destination was a success. And THAT'S what it's all about! Find a way in this DIY world 🌎 of ours! Keep it up guys!!
Haha yeah this was a tough one. Especially when some of it was done apart for time's sake. When we are together we just laugh it off :P We were/are so dang excited when it all started to come together and you're right, it got there and that's what counts! We will keep it up, thanks for the encouragement 🙂👍
This is a really beautiful design! Reminds me of the wick design from the Zippo lighter. Simplicity at its finest! :)

EvanAndKatelyn thanks for checking out the channel! I live finding new up and coming creatives especially talented ones! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video!
Great vid guys!!! Love that feeling when it works out!!
Thanks Ainslee 😋 hehe we we're worried there for a bit but so happy with how they turned out ❤️
Their so cute together
:D aww thanks!
EvanAndKatelyn its cool that u reply to everyones comment 😁 i subbed love ur videos
They + are
= they’re
*Them: Make a DIY video*
Also them: "Don't try this at home!!!"
😂👏
These planters turned out fantastic. So many of the entries in the quickrete contest were just amazing. You guys are doing awesome. Hmmm. How to powdercoat concrete. Maybe next year. lol
+ManCraftingTM thank you!!!! Oooo powdercoating concrete, that would be fun!
I love the playful way your videos are, it's so refreshing 😊
+Miguel Rodriguez thank you! 😄😄
who else thinks he sounds like Daithi De Nogla lmao
Aahahaha me. That guy is awesome, Thank for pointing his channel our to me. Just watched GMOD hide and seek 2 and lost it at the stepulator part lol
Jonathan Leake yeah right?! i was thinking about that throught out the whole video
Jonathan Leake He does
Title and video category: Do It Yourself!

Its so cool to see how far your channel has grown as well as your skills! I'm happy to be a big fan of yours and to have seen this growth as you guys take more risks and learn new things! i wish you guys the best in your further growth and videos!!!
oh my god, old video, i love this
He sounds like Daith de Nogla, VanossGaming's friend, especially when he laugh
Haha I agree - Evan
guys realy a cactus. a cactus does not need that much water
+Siem Hendrikx you'd be surprised at how many cacti we have killed... but the way thus works is the plant takes water from the reservoir (via the wick) as it needs it, so you full the reservoir once and the plant will take what it needs as it goes
Siem Hendrikx I thought the exact same thing. And it isn't the plant taking the water from the reservoirs, it's the soil, so it can still get overwatered. Good project for other plants. Also, cacti usually die from overwatering and not enough light indoors.
fryfold Exactly. The soil takes new water as it dries out. That means the soil is consrantly moist. Aloes are succulents and easily die when being too moist. I own about 200 succulents and water them every 4 to 6 weeks. In between they always have to dry out completely.
another awesome project, thanks guys! keep them going, I love your style and how broad your project choices are.
+A Scud thank you!! We wanna keep trying out new things so I'm sure we'll always be changing up what types of projects we are tackling 👍
My favorite project so far! Really enjoyed the video edit!
Thanks Brendan! We had a lot of fun editing this one!
The guy sounds like DathiDeNogla
Haha I do - Evan :P we must be long lost cousins
So the plant pot has roots?
+Ani Stokes haha yup!!
Nice to see siblings having fun together...
we're married!
EvanAndKatelyn WTF!!!!! But you look lile twins😨😨
Cmin, I can't be the first one to belive that? No offence btw 😳
+Daëmon haha, no worries! I have heard a theory that you're attracted to people who look similar to you
EvanAndKatelyn In that case, there is something wrong with my mirrors at home 🤔🤔
Beautiful design!
Thanks Josh!! 🙂
Is there a model?
Sure thing! Just updated our website and the description for you 🙂👍
your shutter speed and/or framerate on camera doesn't match your lights - thus those dark lines at the beginning.
should be 30fps and 1/60s in US
25fps and 1/50s in EU
or double it.
cheers :)
+CzasNaE-Biznes (red. Piotr Majewski) thanks for the input! Yeah we film at 60 fps but still get them. Much worse at 30 fps. I think we might just need more lights and better diffusion. Future projects for sure :)
Awesome video! I love to see the process and I love your style!
+Disrupt It Yourself thank you thank you!
Classy design. Looking forward to seeing how it works over time.
+Rouverius Thanks! So far it functions in terms of the capillary action wicking water upwards, but we are gonna try to take the advice of some commenters and swap out the succulents for thirstier plants (which apparently are better suited for this kind of thing). Thanks!
It's so pretty! i love the modern look to it. i'm definitely going to try this!
+mintie-verse thank you! Definitely do try it and let us know how it turns out for ya!
Wow this idea is really really cool. good job guys!!
+Calbrino thanks so much!
I thought this might’ve been another iffy diy channel, but the design is great and you guys actually sealed the concrete 👌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 so I subscribed! Keep it up!
+Elizabeth Hillier haha thank you!! Glad to found our little corner of TH-cam and thanks for subscribing! 😊😊
Wow guys this is amazing! congrats!
Thanks Pedro! Glad you like it!
Found out your channel yesterday and I immediately fell in love with both of you....😀😀 you guys are both fun and talented at the sametime..keep going...
Thank you so much!
These are so adorable omg!!!! The hard work seems worth it
Thanks Whitney! We think so too! Plus after making a mold it's easy to make as many planters as you want
Cool project! You all look like you have a blast making these videos!
Thanks Matt! Haha we do have fun, even when things are going wrong!
This was fun to watch! Even though you had problems, it turned out pretty cool! Looking forward to seeing how it performs.
Thanks so much +Works by Solo!! Us too! So far it seems to work well 😀 we filled the reservoir and let it sit for a few hours (soaking up water) then dumped the reservoir out, then waited another hour to see if the wick would release water... And it did! Way more than we thought. So it seems like it's able to soak up water and transport it 😁
Very cool guys!!! Awesome design!!!
Thanks Pat! It was super fun coming up with the design for this project so we are glad you like it!
You guys are seriously the cutest couple I've ever seen. I love your content!😄😄
Aww thank you!!!! 😁😁
Very nice. I'm terrible with concrete! You guys did great!!
+Wood And Screw thank you! It definitely takes a bit to get the feel of the proper mix right but it's really fun to experiment with
That was quite a challenge making the mold.
Good job and you guys earned my 👍
+Reagan Huang thank you so much! Learned a lot from this mold making experience 😋
i just made mine today , using your methode and it is good !
mine does not look good like yours though. posted it on my facebook
You make such high quality videos for this amount of subs, keep it up!
+Александр Яханов thank you! Definitely plan on keeping it up 😄😄
You guys are adorable and this was so much fun to watch!
Thank you Austin!! Glad you liked it, thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment! 😄
Whew, I can totally relate to your silicone moldmaking struggles!! Well done you guys!
+Geeksmithing thank you! Haha the struggle is real!!!
Great quality, the editing isn't like most DIY channels (which create the illusion that it doesn't take a long time to do these things) the editing here is so obviously faster than the actual time it took to do all of this.
