Automatic watering of home flowers

Each of us has repeatedly had to leave our home for a long time. We have dachas, friends in other cities, a desire to travel abroad or to some resort sanatorium. Even a banal trip to nature with tents requires us to leave our entire household unattended. We can always take our beloved pets with us, but indoor plants... Not every one of us decides to transport all our home flora with us over significant distances. Typically, such trips take place in the summer, when plants especially need moisture. Some flower lovers, upon returning home, are faced with the unpleasant phenomenon when their beautiful flowers turn out to be dry after a long absence of the owner. The answer here is obvious - until now you have not yet known a way to maintain the soil of your indoor plants in the proper soil moisture.

To begin with, you will need a container for water; the volume of the container should depend on the number of days you are away and the individual characteristics of the water consumption of the particular plant being served.That is, if you are leaving for two or three days and your plant is a flower of average whimsical level in terms of moisture consumption, then a small bottle will be more than enough.

And, accordingly, if you are leaving for two weeks or more, and plus your plant loves to drink, you will need a much larger bottle. You need to accurately calculate the amount of liquid in exactly the same volume as if you were at home and watered the flower at your usual rhythm. Prepare extra water just in case.

Now take an ordinary lace, it may be partly synthetic, but if it consists mainly of natural fibers, it will be good.

You can use fabric tape or soft rope for these purposes; here you can choose from what you have. Now you will need two weights.

It can be anything: dowels, self-tapping screws, screws, bolts, nuts, the main thing is that they are not very large, but at the same time somewhat weighty. Next, you should fix the weights on both ends of the lace.

Wet one end thoroughly.

Take it out of the water and now soak the rest of the lace in the bottle.

The entire lace should be perfectly wet. Now move on to your indoor plant, place it on the floor.

Place the vessel with water next to it, on a raised platform relative to the flower, for example, on a chair, as shown in the photo.

Let’s make a reservation right away that it is not necessary to place the flower on the floor, the main thing is that the vessel with water is located at a level above the surface of the plant’s soil; the principle of communicating vessels works here. Water, like a stream, searches for a low spot and finds it in a pot with a plant.This should be clear to you. Now we fix one end of the lace in the soil.
