Tips On How To Get Indoor Water Plants

One easy way to get indoor plants wateredwithout a bulky watering can is to use an indoor water hose.Such hoses are designed to cover up to forty feet through the house, hooked to a faucet.  The water is turned on and off at the end of the hose through the use of a sprayer which is used to water the plants.  This is an especially good system to use when watering indoor plants that are larger and bulky to move from place to place.  It also allows the plants that need a lot of water at a time to receive what they need without multiple trips back and forth from the faucet with the watering can.

Another way to get indoor plants wateredeasily is to use a wicking system.  There are wicks that can be bought at a garden supply store which can be placed into the bottom of the plant’s pot, next to the roots, and then through the bottom and into the water trough. The wick is made from a cotton material in most cases, which easily allows the water to be transferred from the water trough into the plant’s pot to the roots when they get dry.  The trough can be an extra pot or bowl, anything that will hold the water without spilling it.  There are also professionally made wicking systems on the market today that can be purchased in garden stores, but the homemade version works just as well for the average plants in the home.
