How to water the plants at home during holiday travel?

The Qingming small holiday is coming. Do you have any travel plans? But for some friends who have plants at home, they always feel uneasy. So how can we water the plants when there is no one at home during the holiday? Don't worry, here are some suggestions.

Method 1: drip irrigation method

This method is relatively easy. Hang a bottle of water on the top of the flowerpot, drill a small hole in the bottle mouth, and replenish water to the flowerpot soil in the form of water drops. But the difficulty of this method is that it is difficult to grasp the water demand of flowers.

Method 2: Sit in the water.

You can use a large pot, which is more than twice the diameter of the flowerpot. First pour the water into the flowerpot, then put it into the big basin, and then put the water into the big basin. The height of water should not exceed half the height of soil in the flowerpot. Then put it in the shade. The water in the big pot is sent to the soil through the small hole at the bottom of the flowerpot, so that the soil in the pot will not dry and the soil on the top of the flowerpot will not be immersed in the water.

Method 3: Sand burying method

In principle, similar to the second method, for some small and exquisite flowers and plants, even if the pots are buried in wet sand, the soil can be kept moist. In addition, in order to keep the sand moist, we can use a mineral water bottle, make a few small holes in the mineral water bottle, fill it with water, and then put the bottle into the wet sand.

Method 4: Bagging method

Before we go out for a trip, we water the plants first, and then wrap the whole plants in plastic bags. Be careful not to cover it completely, and give the plants some breathing space, otherwise it may cause diseases because it is too stuffy. The principle of this method is to collect the water evaporated by plants for secondary utilization. The evaporated water forms water droplets on plastic bags, and the water droplets return to the soil for plants to use.

Method 5: Drainage.

Use something that absorbs water, such as wick, cloth or shoelaces. Put one end on the pot soil and the other end in a container filled with water. The water level in the container is higher than that in the basin soil. In this way, water can be continuously supplied to the soil of the basin through capillary action.

Did you get the above method? In addition, it should be added that we must pay attention to one degree of watering in the above ways, especially some plants that are more drought-tolerant and waterlogged-tolerant, and only need to be watered once, so we must not be greedy!
