Effortless Plant Watering: Your Solution to Vacation-Proof Greenery (Page 2 ) | January 10, 2024

Watering plants even when you’re not at home: the foolproof method

The first thing to do is to get  two plastic bottles  , one larger and the other smaller. In fact, we will have to cut the last part of the largest bottle: from the bottom we calculate six centimeters in height and proceed to cut. Once this step is completed, we take the smaller bottle which  will be positioned vertically inside  the lower part of the larger bottle. Using a marker, we will also mark the maximum tank limit on the small bottle, which will coincide with the height of the bottom of the larger bottle.

Once this step has also been completed, take a piece of fabric and obtain a strip of approximately 35 centimeters long. This strip of fabric should be placed on a piece of aluminum foil  , which will be wrapped around the strip. We will have to be careful to take out about 4 centimeters of fabric from the wrapped sheet. All that remains is to fold the wrapped aluminum and place it inside the lower part of the plastic bottle where we have already placed the smaller bottle.

The method is also perfect for vases

What we are doing is nothing more than  drip irrigation  . The base must be placed in the ground, with a depth of about half a centimeter: inside we will place the smallest plastic bottle full of water, which will come out of the window and fill the lower part (which will serve  as a  reservoir). Once this is done, the wrapped (and folded) aluminum is applied to the inside of the base, which will act more like a sprinkler. In a short time, water drops  will start to come out of the sprinkler  and therefore water the soil of the plants.
