Abstract:
1. A water transporting line for watering potted plants by transporting water in accordance with the capillary effect in fibrous material, wherein the fibrous material is in the form of a flat fiber sliver, the fiber sliver including the fibrous material disposed between opposing ends of the fiber sliver, the fibrous material being surrounded by a tubular waterproof flexible casing with a flat inside cross section, wherein a shape of the casing determines a longitudinal direction of the casing, a surface normal direction and a transverse direction, which is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and the surface normal direction, the ends of the fiber sliver contact water in a water storage tank and a plant substrate, respectively, the casing comprises a first sliver-shaped casing wall and a second sliver-shaped casing wall between which the fiber sliver runs and which form the watertight casing together with narrow side walls, the first casing wall has a higher flexural rigidity than the second casing wall against bending about a bending axis running in the transverse direction.
