Specifically, how to make the process easier, without spilling droplets of water or excess soil everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need some easy ways to water indoor plants without making it a long drawn-out process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they look amazing on display, for many of us, watering has become more of a nuisance, another chore to add to the list that requires extra cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, through my love of plants and some trial and error, I’ve finally discovered the best indoor watering methods that actually work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the 7 easy ways to water indoor plants with<\/strong> absolutely no mess involved<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Catch water with saucers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This is probably the most popular method for watering plants indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saucers help collect the excess water from draining holes, thus preventing spills or damage to your floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the saucer type, it can also add a bit of decor to your plant display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drawback with saucers is that if you leave water in the saucer, it can quickly attract mosquitos and pests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn your plant’s love language to avoid overwatering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Invest in self-watering pots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Self-watering pots are a perfect solution for watering indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these pots, a wick is used to draw water to the roots, giving the plant a consistent and stable supply of moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It gets exactly the amount it needs at every stage of growth, leading to a healthier plant and a higher yield if you’re growing fruits and vegetables! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, self-watering pots may not be as ideal for drought-tolerant plants such as succulents or herbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also tend to be more expensive, so be mindful if you’re on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Double pot your plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Everyone always stresses about having a drainage hole at the bottom of your pot but sometimes, it’s just not possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But these “drain-less” containers can actually come in handy! For watering, grab a pot without a draining hole that is slightly bigger than your current pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place your pot that needs watering inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water and voila!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The excess water will just spill into the second pot. Add sponges to the bottom to soak up excess water or just the excess water out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Make a draining hole in a bucket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If double potting isn’t an option, you can replicate the same method using a 5-gallon bucket or whatever substitute you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need something strong enough to cut through plastic (I used a drill). Cut out a small-sized hole in the center of the lid. Place your plant on top and water your plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The excess will simply drain into the bucket. Repeat the same process for your plants and pour out the collected water. Too easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Give your plants a bath or shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many people make the mistake of watering plants often in short bursts instead of giving them a long drink less often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, if you have a ton of plants, individual watering might take forever. Why not haul all your plants together and give them a long drink of water in the shower? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or you can just fill the tub with a few inches of water and let them soak. The tub offers a no-mess alternative but keep an eye out for gravel or wood going down the drain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll also need the time to let them dry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Use a wine bottle irrigation system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Did you know you can create a DIY irrigation system with just a wine bottle? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you finished that last bottle of Moscato, don’t throw it out. Rinse it out! Then, fill it to the top with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use your thumb as a plug, and then quickly turn the bottle upside down into soil, near the roots, to let the water slowly drip out over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full watering process should take a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Try hydroponics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Hydroponic gardening<\/a> has become more popular over the years and it’s one of the easiest and quickest ways to get an indoor garden started! <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis involves growing plants using just water, a container, and a medium or water-based nutrient solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although maintenance costs may be a little higher, hydroponic gardening certainly makes for a unique plant display and a hot topic with guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll never have to worry about making a mess from “watering” your plants again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I hope this article has shown you some creative and easy ways to water your indoor plants without making a mess! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing nature indoors is more popular than ever and with that, comes new creative ways to make our lives easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
