Take back the cork and make 2 holes with a screw.
Make sure the holes go through the entire cork.
Put the cork back into the bottle that has just been filled with clean water.
It is best that 1 to 2 cm of the cork is coming out of the bottle.

How to water your plants when you're on holiday? Part 2
Take the pot and fill it with water.
You can also add flower food to the water.
Take a long piece of rope or cotton. Make sure the rope is long enough to touch the bottom of the pot. You have to pout the other end of the rope in the flower pot at the base of the plant.
Make sure that this construction is not in direct sunlight. This prevents the rope from drying out before the plant has water.
If the pot is still lower, put a book or a block below it. This allows the water to trickle down along the rope.
