Discover this ingenious trick that every pot gardener should know. I’ll teach you a technique that will help you water your plants more efficiently and keep them healthier than ever.
Step 1: Material Preparation All you’ll need for this trick is a plastic bottle or similar container. Cut the bottle approximately halfway down the pot’s height.
Step 2: Bottle Perforation Use a cutter to make small holes in the top of the bottle. These holes will allow water to drain properly during watering.
Step 3: Placement in the Pot Place the bottle in the center of the pot, slightly raised from the surface. This will ensure even distribution of water throughout the pot.
Step 4: Adding Substrate Fill the pot with your usual substrate, making sure to compact it well around the bottle to avoid air pockets.
Step 5: Seeding or Cutting This method is ideal for seeding or propagating cuttings. Spread the seeds or place the cuttings on the substrate surface and lightly cover them with more substrate.
Step 6: Watering Use a spray bottle to lightly moisten the top layer of the substrate and ensure the seeds or cuttings do not dry out.
Step 7: Controlled Watering Water the pot slowly, allowing the water to spread evenly throughout the pot. Repeat this process several times to ensure the substrate is fully moistened.
Step 8: Additional Benefits This method offers several additional benefits, such as controlled watering, more efficient nutrient absorption, and healthier roots.
Step 9: Ongoing Maintenance Keep an eye on your plants and make sure to water them as needed. With this trick, your plants will be healthier than ever and bloom like never before.
