If you want to make sure that your potted houseplants are happy and thriving, follow these amazing tricks:
1.Water Wisely
A weekend getaway is only enjoyable if you leave your plants in good hands. Next time, leave the care of them on vacation to a bottle babysitter!
2. Or Try The Tub
If you’re going on a long trip and want to make sure your houseplants stay healthy, why not put them in the bathtub? It worked for me when I left town!
3. Add A Filter
Before you fill your pot with soil, line the bottom and sides to prevent water from pooling. A coffee filter is a great way of doing this because it has large holes that allow excess moisture runoff through its mesh texture!
4.Don’t Forget The Grinds
Ground coffee is an excellent source of nutrients for plants, and it’s the cheapest way to give your garden soil what you need!
5. Sneak In A Sponge
If you place a sponge at the bottom of your pot, it will collect excess water that can be drunk by plants.
6. Pile Pinecones
Pinecones are a great way to add natural beauty and texture without sacrificing too much soil. Just layer them at the bottom of your pot for best results!
7. Start With Citrus
Save those juiced lemon halves for a fun and easy way to spruce up your garden! Sprouting seedlings is very effective this way! After the seed germinates, plant it in a pot and place in your garden.
8. Remember The Rain
Rainwater is beneficial for your plants, so when it rains get them outside. A little bit of moisture can really help a plant flourish!
