If you are often away from home, learn 5 ways to "water" flowers and never worry about them dying of drought again.
Many people like to grow some flowers and plants, but those who often go out may encounter the following problems when growing flowers: the plants dry up and die due to lack of water in the flowerpots.
Today I will share with you that if you often go out and grow flowers and plants at home, you can use the following 5 methods to replenish water for the flowers at home so that the plants will not suffer from water shortage and drought.
1. Rope water guide
You can put a larger mineral water bottle next to the flower pot as shown in the picture, then fill it with water, prepare a thicker rope, soak one end in water, and put the other end on the surface of the soil in the flower pot, so that the water in the bucket can be naturally absorbed into the flower pot.
Using this method, you can replenish water for the flowers and plants in your home, and you can do it gradually.
2. Give flowers a little bit of drip
Of course, if flower lovers have the conditions, they can also prepare some drip tubes, just like giving an IV drip. Prepare a larger plastic bottle, fill it with clean water, and insert the upper end of the drip tube into the bottle.
Insert the lower end of the drip tube into the soil of the flowerpot, place the plastic bottle with water in a higher place, and adjust the speed of water flow from the drip tube to be as slow as possible, so that you can replenish water in the flowerpot for a long time.
3. Water replenishment of tray
You can also put the flower pots in a larger tray as shown in the picture, and then put a plastic bottle next to it, insert a straw into the plastic bottle, and then put the other end of the straw in the tray. In this way, if there is a lack of water in the tray, the water in the plastic bottle will automatically be added to the tray, which can also replenish water for the flowers.
4. Moisture retention in the container
If you are growing some small potted plants, especially succulents, and are afraid that the plants will suffer from drought, you can prepare a larger transparent container and put a few cups of water in the container.
Then cover the transparent container with a lid, leaving a gap for the plant to breathe. This way, the plant can grow in a high humidity environment for a long time without drying out due to lack of water.
5. Control valve water supply
Of course, this kind of special water supply control valve is also sold now, which can be directly inserted into the bottle of water and then inserted upside down into the soil of the flowerpot.
Then adjust the water flow of the control valve so that you can continue to replenish water in the flower pot. Generally, you don’t need to water the flower pot for about a month.
In the process of growing flowers, watering is a very important thing. If you are on a business trip or out of town for a long time, you can use these 5 methods to replenish water for the flowers and plants at home to prevent them from dying from lack of water.
