You can reap the benefits of keeping houseplants, but your black thumb won’t get in the way!Īre you convinced? Do you want to use this system the next time you’re away from home? The setup process takes about 30 minutes, and should be done the day before you leave in order to minimize stress and confirm the system is working. I’ll walk you through the steps to making your own at home.
Oh, and another tip: If you’re new to houseplants, or aren’t sure how much to water them, use this system even when you’re home. You don’t need to do a damn thing! This system will water itself and leave your plants feeling great.With this setup, you can keep all of your plants hydrated with one system.
Different plants require different amounts of water.They will never sit in an excess of water. By using a wicking system, the plants only absorb the amount of water that they need.Here’s why a self-watering wicking system works so well: I pride myself on my level of care for our houseplants, but let me say this: our plants have never looked better than that week they were watering themselves. When Anne and I took our road trip through the south last spring, we devised a self-watering wicking system to keep our houseplants happy and healthy while we were away for a week. All of this traveling means that those houseplants you so carefully take care of are soon left to fend for themselves. Day trips, weekend excursions, and longer vacations. The cherry blossoms were out of control!Īs the warmer weather begins to take us out of hibernation, it quickly becomes the season to travel more. My parents visited me and Anne this weekend, and we had a great picnic at the Japanese Gardens in Fairmount Park.
Happy Monday! Did anyone notice I was absent last week? The bad news is I had bronchitis for a few weeks there, but the good news is that I’m feeling better! Philly is in full-blown spring mode, and I can’t get enough of it.
