How to water houseplants?

You are going on vacation, you have fun and joy because soon you will go on a long-awaited trip. But what to do with them – your houseplants? They can dry out, get sick and even die.

Well-watered houseplants can last several days or even a week. But what if you go for a long time? For longer vacations, we offer the following watering methods:

  1. Stretch the wick to the pot.

You can set up a simple absorption system that works indoors or outdoors. You need some absorbent material – thick yarn, scraps of old natural fiber rope or strips of cotton T-shirt – and containers (such as bottles, bowls, etc.) to hold water.

But first, set up a test pot to make sure your wick works well.

Place a container of water next to the plant. One container, if large enough, can hold several pots. Place one end of the wick in the water, making sure it reaches the bottom of the container, and push the other end about three inches deep into the moist soil of the plant. As the soil dries, the water will rise on the wick to replenish moisture.

  1. Make a mini – greenhouse.

This method is suitable for small plants!

You can buy a terrarium. Put on a waterproof floor indoors. Spread moistened gravel on the bottom and put well-watered plants on top. After that, the terrarium must be sealed.
