## Reservoir insert
### Reservoir insert

Inside the water reservoir, an insert holds a float for detecting the water level and 1-4 aquarium pumps for watering the plants. The code for this insert is in [scad/reservoir_insert](scad/reservoir_insert).

### Moisture sensor cap

A cap for the moisture sensor can hold the end of the watering tube in place in the plant's pot, for when the watering spike is not used.

### Watering spike

The end of the watering tube can be inserted into a 3D-printed spike with holes in it, which can be inserted into the soil in the plant pot to spread water through the pot.

The spike is printed in two halves which can be epoxied together.
