Wondering how to care for your indoor plants to keep them vibrant and prevent withering after the Tet holiday? Media Mart has you covered with these 4 effective and simple tips.
1. Shower your plant
This method is suitable for plant pots with good drainage. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot and place the plant in it. The soil will stay moist, providing enough water for the plant for about a week.
2. Use a drip irrigation bottle
A popular and highly effective method involves using an empty plastic bottle with drilled holes near the mouth. Fill the bottle with water, then tilt it upside down into the plant. Ensure the soil around the bottle's neck is thick. Water will drip, ensuring adequate moisture for the plant.
In this method, water will drip from the bottle, ensuring an adequate amount of water for the plants. Choose a water bottle size that matches your flower pot. Alternatively, for a more creative approach, you can use glass spheres instead of a water container.
3. Greenhouse Method
For extended holidays, this method is the optimal choice. Prepare a plastic bag with a size sufficient to cover both the plant and the pot. Insert a stick into the pot to ensure the bag does not cling to the plant. Water the plant as usual, avoiding excessive watering.
Place your plant in the bag and inflate it, then tie it securely. This will make the bag taut, preventing it from touching the leaves.
Position your ornamental plant pot away from direct sunlight to prevent the bag from overheating and the plant from wilting.
4. Utilize a String
The ingredients for this method are readily available. All you need is a bucket, pot, or basin, and a piece of string. Choose cotton clothesline as it has high water absorbency. Firstly, cut a piece of cotton string to a certain length to reach the bottom of the water container. Fill the bucket, pot, or basin with water so that the string touches the bottom of the container.
The remaining end of the string is placed near the soil close to the plant's base, avoiding contact with the roots. This way, the string will transfer water to the pot, maintaining the right moisture level for the plant to stay fresh.
Hoping these 4 tips for caring for indoor decorative plant pots during the Tet holiday break will be helpful. Save them for reference and apply them immediately for surprising results. Don't forget to follow Media Mart for quick updates on useful information.
