What to do if you are too lazy to water your houseplants: here's what smart housewives do

Indoor flowers should be watered every few days. And in some periods, even daily.

However, many housewives are too lazy to carry out this procedure so often. Or the residents of the house simply forget to moisten the soil in the pot.

And sometimes people simply do not have the physical ability to water the plants. For example, when they go on a long trip and leave the apartment for a long time.

Fortunately, plants will not face a lack of water if you use one trick. Thus, you can create a simple "watering system" with your own hands.

Here's what needs to be done

You will need a plastic bottle. The container should be filled with clean water.

The neck does not need to be screwed on with a lid. Instead, the top of the container should be covered with a piece of fabric, which should be secured with an elastic band.

As a result, the water will flow out, but not very quickly. The device will provide dosed watering.

The inverted bottle must be placed in the pot. So, the neck of the container must be in the ground. The bottom of the container must "look" upward.

Now the plants do not need regular watering. Moisture will constantly flow into the soil, even if the owner stops watering the flowers at all.

Moreover, “bottle” watering not only helps to replenish the moisture deficit, but also prevents excess liquid.
