• 5 Smart Ways to Water Your Indoor Plant While
  You're Away
• Lets dive into something special for your indoor
  plants that help in
• keeping your plants always fresh and beautiful
  even when you are not there with them to feed
  them. Use these ideas according to your type and
  requirement of the indoor plants.
• Bottle Irrigation System
• It is one of the best ways to water your plant
  while you are away from
• your indoor plants. You can make a bottle
  irrigation system at home easily with a bottle
  (size depending upon your potted plant) and an
  aluminum cap.
• Take a glass bottle so that you can see the level
  of water and refill it. Fill your bottle with
  the water and cover it with the aluminum cap and
  make 4 to 5 holes in that cap. Go to your plant
  that you want to give water, with soft hands,
  make a hole beside the plant. Then slowly put
  the bottles mouth inside that hole without
  making any mess.
• Now the rest work will be done by the soil and
  plant. The plant will soak up the water from the
  holes whenever they want.
• Bathing the Indoor Plant
• It is also a great way to keep your flowers alive
  and fresh when you are away.
• For this, you just have to fill up the sink or
  any tub with some water and cover the water
  surface with a towel in a way it doesnt get
  away. Take

• the plant that you want to water and put it on
  the towel that is laid on the water surface.
• Before putting your plant, ensure that your
  potted flower plant has good drainage in order
  to let roots soak up the water from the towel
  quickly and when needed.
• You can opt for this idea of watering your plants
  when you are going outside for around a week and
  you dont want your plants to get dry.
• Water Wicking or Water Reservoir
• This is also an easy and quick watering way that
  can help while you are away from your plants.
• You need a cotton rope that will absorb the water
  and send it into the plant. Put one end of the
  cotton rope into the water and the other end
  into the soil of your plant (2-3 inches inside
  the soil).
• This method also helps the people who have more
  than one indoor plant in their house and want to
  keep alive them all. You just have to take a
  different cotton rope for every plant. Put one
  end of the rope into the plant and another one
  into the bucket or anything in which you have
  kept the water.
• It is a great way if you need to water multiple
  indoor plants with one method.
• Plastic bottle tank
• You can make a plastic water bottle tank with
  waste or any other plastic water bottle which
  would be one of the great ideas you can opt to
  keep
• your plants alive.

First, take a plastic water bottle according to
the water need of your plant. Make holes 5 or 6
holes around that bottle and 2 or 3 at the
bottom. Now, keep that bottle into the soil,
leaving the cap and 3 or 4 inches of the top of
the bottle outside. Before filling the water
bottle, water the soil enough so that plant will
not soak the entire water bottle tank in just a
few seconds. Now, fill the water tank with water
and the rest will be done by the plant. You can
use this method when you are away or not getting
the time to water the plant. You just have to
refill this handmade water tank whenever you get
away or not getting time to water your plant
regularly. 5) Greenhouse bag It is a
time-consuming method as compare to the other
ones but works well if done properly. First, you
need a plastic bag of a size that can cover your
plant and pot easily. Keep in mind the bag
should be bigger that cannot touch the plant
while covering. A little bit of contact is ok but
it should not be touching leaves from every
corner. Before covering the plant, make sure your
plant is filled with water. Now, cover the plant
and pot with that bag and blow some air into the
bag when it is covered properly. It is because
plants should not touch the leaves. Now keep
your plant in an area where it can get indirect
sunlight. Now, the greenhouse will capture water
when it will evaporate and the drips will go
back to the plant. This method is great as you
can save water by not refilling the plant and
your plant will remain healthy while you are on
a vacation.
