How to water plants for a month

As mentioned before, this method can be useful if you are not at home for a few days. You will need a large plastic bottle. The bigger the bottle, the more days you won’t have to water your plants. Now use a felt-tip pen to make a mark about 15 cm from the bottom and 10 cm from the neck.

Connect and an internal line is created that serves as a guide for the position in which the bottle should be placed on the plant. Make a small dot slightly below the line, about 7.6 cm from the base, which you need to pierce. You can do this with an awl or a heated thread iron.

The hole should be small and not too big. Now fill the bottle with water. Not all of it, but up to the beginning of the line you drew earlier. Now close the bottle tightly with the cap. It is time to place the bottle near the plant.

Place the bottle in the ground

You can also use this method in the garden by getting close to the plant and lightly digging up some soil to place the bottle. The bottle must be buried up to the starting point of the line previously created. Remember to place the side of the bottle with the hole facing the plant.

Now cover with soil again. Then open the cap and fill the bottle completely. Now close the cap again. As soon as the bottle is closed, the water level will no longer drop and will only come out again at the plant’s request or when the soil is dry. It will come out drop by drop.

This way you can be sure that your plants are always watered and you don’t have to remember to water them every day. This method is particularly suitable for vegetables planted in the garden. However, there are also other methods for potted plants such as the bottle and string method.
