glueing plastic tubing underwater

Hi what would be the best glue to use to glue plastic tubing to small
plastic pots that would be full of water. I was going to use silicone
sealant but it says not to use in permanently damp conditions. The joint
would in water all the time. This is to make a watering system for a
greenhouse.
Thanks, Jenny
PVC cement. Get it from any decent plumbers. Or take scrap bits of pipe
and dissolve in acetone or MEK.
This will not work on synthetic rubber though..i.e. fuel tubing.
There you must terminate onto solid plastic pipe (push on) and then glue
that into the pot.
