For any plants, including indoor ones, the lack of regular watering becomes destructive.
However, we often have to leave home, and for a long time.
Let's figure out how you can save flowers from dying if you're going to be away from home for a couple of weeks.
Simple life hacks for gardeners
If you do not have the opportunity to purchase and install an automatic irrigation system, you can create its analogue with your own hands.
For example, a plastic cap will not let your flowers die. Before going around, moisten the soil generously, and then the water, evaporating, will settle on the surface of the plastic and moisten the soil again.
Another life hack will help you create a real automatic watering system using a bottle.
To do this, fill a plastic bottle with water, punch a hole in the cork and bury it upside down. Don't forget to punch a hole in the bottom of the bottle, which will allow you to more effectively moisten the soil in the pot.
You can also use a drainage system with a silk thread. One end is dug into the pot, the other is lowered into a container with water, which should be above the pot.
Previously we wrote about which flowerpot is best to choose for indoor plants and why.
