How can you water the flowers when you are not at home?

With the Spring Festival holiday approaching, many friends choose to travel or visit relatives, so the plants at home cannot be watered. So, how can people water the flowers when they are not at home? Next, the editor will teach you how to water flowers when you are not at home.

1. Bag covering method

Before we leave home, we first pour water on the plants, and then cover the whole plant with a plastic bag. We should be careful not to cover the whole plant tightly and give the plant a little room for air, otherwise the plant will die if it can't breathe normally, or it may cause disease because it is too stuffy. The principle of this method is to collect the evaporated water of the plant for secondary use. The evaporated water forms water droplets on the plastic bag, and the water droplets gather when they can fall. The water is back in the soil for plants to use.

2. Sand burying method

The method of burying sand is usually more suitable for small plants, because small plants are easier to operate, and the plants are directly removed from the basin and buried with the soil in a moist sand basin. this method is to ensure that the sand is moist and has good air permeability and water retention. Burying plants in wet sand allows plants to absorb water from sand.

Third, the basin-setting method

Like the method of burying sand, this method is more suitable for small potted plants. Prepare a large pot, put the potted plant directly into the big pot, then water the potted plant thoroughly, and then put water into the big pot. The height of the water in the big pot should not exceed half of the potted soil. According to the principle of the connector, the bottom of the pot will remain moist, and the upper soil will not be too wet. The editor has tested that this method is also suitable for hot weather in summer.

IV. Drainage method

This method is relatively simple and convenient, directly choose a towel with good water absorption, put a basin of water on the edge of the flowerpot, put one end of the towel in the water, and bury the other end in the soil of the flowerpot, so that you can transport water to the flowerpot through the towel, but if the towel is not absorbent, this method has no effect. In order to ensure success, it is best to test the water absorption of the towel.

5. Drip irrigation

This method is also relatively easy to operate. Hang a bottle of water from the top of the flowerpot and drill a small hole at the mouth of the bottle to replenish the soil of the flowerpot in the form of water droplets, but this method is difficult to control the speed of water flow. when the hole is big, the water may be dripped before the person has gone, and if the hole is small, it may not drip out, so this method tests the drilling technique. in addition, the water bottle with the hole can be directly buried in the soil. It is equivalent to making a simple drip irrigation equipment.

Many friends are worried about their plants dying from lack of water when they are away from home, so the editor introduces to you the above ways that people can water even when they are not at home, hoping to help them.
