How to water plants while away.
Take a small or large plastic bottle, depending on the size of your plant and pot.
Drill 2-3 holes at the bottom of the plastic bottle and 3-5 holes on the sides.
Dig up the soil nearby the plant without disturbing roots and deep enough to bury the bottle in it up to the neck.
Fill the bottle with water and put it in the hole you just made, and then level the soil nearby the hole by tapping it. If the plant doesn’t require much water, place the cap; otherwise, leave the bottle uncapped.
PLACE THE PLANT IN THE SINK
Pthe container in several inches of deep water. The soil soaks up water through the drainage holes present at the bottom.
Fill the sink, tub, bucket up to a few inches of water, and place your planter pot in it.
The soil will continue to soak up water and remain moist, fulfilling the plant’s needs and for about a week.
To prevent the sink from scratches and dirt, cover the surface of the sink with an old towel before placing the pot.
Precautions: Plants that require bright light or direct sun should not be placed in a dark bathroom or kitchen. Also, this method is only suitable for water-loving plants that need constant moisture to grow. Other plants may die due to root rot.
