is it possible to get my dehumidifier to water my houseplants

I do not have a firm grasp on physics but have sketched what I have in my mind, with it strapped to a ceiling fan

I’ve been told the first sketch is impractical. so I have also attached the plants to the ceiling fan, for balance

several have asked about the dehumidifier power cord - I can solve this with a power strip attached to a model train whose speed perfectly matches the ceiling fan

someone said the model train may short circuit if it gets wet, but I can shield it with more plants

“Ok but what if a leaf falls on the tracks?” For this I can attach a broom to the rotating plant platform, and the broom will chase the train (or be chased by it, depending on your perspective I suppose)

model trains still occasionally get stuck and need to be jostled, so I have added a caboose upon which my phone can be docked under a cute umbrella and it will vibrate the train every time someone responds to this thread saying my plan is needlessly elaborate (which is frequent)

Thank you all for the guidance. The only thing left to do is vote on a name for this system:
