Thank you! I've been trying to think of a way to water my plants when I'm gone! lol. I knew there was a way to do it with plastic bottles but wasn't sure what or how it would work. Can't wait to try this!
I did this while on vacation for two weeks. Not only did my plants survive, but when I came back I had plants sprouting that I had just planted before I left. Now I have three mango seedlings, two tomato plants, and numerous others that are flourishing because of this method. Thank you!
I tried this and all kinds of expensive water drippers and the water went right through the soil and all over my floor. Tried several setups including the drip rope. Nothing works properly
I used this way to water when I went to Stockholm 1 1/2 weeks. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical when I was driving. But not only had the plants survived - they had grown so much and nicely that it looked like a small jungle in the kitchen. I was so happy, completely lyrical! Such a superior and simple system - Thank you for sharing the tip 🙏🏻. I have shared this video with all my flower friends 🌸.
I just bought areca palm, snake plant, money plant, aloevera, n i was very stressed as i hv to go for 8 days somewhere. Bt u solved it dude. N the comments people hv done, makes me even more confident that it will work. Thanks a lot buddy. India
I got balcony garden , yes im thinking it now what if i go for holiday who will water my plants. My problem got solved with your ideas! Will definitely start collecting empty bottles so i can use when we go for holiday!
I have been doing that for years, I do that in my garden for small plants, specially new ones. From my experience on this, if you do like that some times it work and other times it doesn't or more accurately only one third of the bottle is empty .. I think the reason is the way you place it on the dirt, sometimes the whole is blocked by the dirt ground. Now if you dig little tiny hole up it will work fine but a faster, a liter lasted 5 days in hot summer 44c 110f approx. either that or make a one big hole in the cap only the size i use is the cross screw driver or as big as lentil hole. this video solution may work only if you are inspecting them well before leaving , making sure that that the holes are not blocked by dirt you need to observe the level of water moving down.. You can put a big old kettle with water, soak any long strip of cotton from old clothes in the neck of the kettle,and run it through the neck holes to the bottom of the kettle (inside it), let the other end of the strip close to the root of the plant. Make sure the kettle level higher a bit than the plant soil, so it would ensure the dripping. this method always works! Always! except if the cloth, or the natural rope fiber become so old that it loses its absorption ability... for even better result you buy use small rope made of natural fiber. if you are leaving for longer, use big 5 liter plastic bottle, or 10 etc.. Cover the top part of the kettle with its lid to avoid evaporation . that is why 12 liter kettle (there are for parties, or restaurant..). Hope this help
I'm guessing you're not referring to electric kettle, yet to see a 12 litre one in the market. But sounds like a good idea with the cloth, would the soak up fabric causes molds and bacteria growth?
I have used bottles in my garden to help keep it watered well. I have sloping garden beds with some runoff problems. I bury bottles (right side up) up to the top of the neck, with holes in the sides all around and a piece of stocking over the neck to keep soil out. I fill them to the top, multiple times, with the hose, and all that water now filters into the soil instead of running off. I will be adding long pieces of pvc pipe the same way, to deeply water. Much quicker too, than the "shower" setting on the spray nozzle.
Many things. Too complicated, they don’t have the tools, his voice/accent, not what they were looking for, etc. People forget that 1.4M people is a huge amount of people. I enjoyed the video, found it very helpful, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will. I’m just lucky I had the materials available.
Thank you so much for this video! We are going away in a few weeks and I was worried about the Ginger and Turmeric I have been growing all winter indoors! I can't wait to try it!
I'm not trying to be rude, but it's really not good to say when you'll be away from your home, especially if you're using your full name. Anyone can Google your name and possibly get your address.
hi, i am so glad i came across your video, finally what i was looking for. now id like to know, i have a south facing space which dries all plants when its hot. i normally water them when i think they need it, now you mentioned about placing them into the containers, how long would a large size bottle last, as im abit worried all my hard work will be destroyed. thank you for sharing. by the way im partially sighted and you made it easy to watch.
Thank you so much for such a helpful video! I'm testing this out before I go on vacation, but I noticed that some of my bottles empty out overnight and some only lose a little bit of water. Some of my potted plants have two bottles, and one bottle was empty while the other one was still very full. Can you tell my why some of the bottles are draining faster? I moved the plants out of direct sun to see if that slows things down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The water flow speed depends on the size of the holes too, they should be small. Also the type of soil. Testing it before is very good to see what works better for you.
Awesome video. Right to the point. In other videos they want to tell me all about their lives, what they have for dinner, and what school their kids go to. And then finally talk about drip irrigation.
Thanks for the tip - it works, but some bottles are better than others I think. As an experiment I tried 0.5 litre water bottles in 2 baby carrot seedling boxes (18 inches by 9 inches and 9 inches deep), left for 4 days (3 nights) on my balcony which gets the sun in the morning and early afternoon. I live in a warm climate, in the Philippines. I put 2 bottles in each box, each bottle had 2 small holes near the centre of the cap. One bottle had a shallow neck, maybe 1cm long, the other maybe 3cm. in each container. The longer neck bottles were about 75% used up whilst the shallow necks had hardly drained at all (if at all). When I removed the bottles the soil at depth was lovely and moist and the seedlings were in perfect condition in both containers. We are going away again this week and I'll repeat, with the longer necked bottles; this time I'll try 4 holes versus 2 holes - I'll report back here if I get any useful results. BTW I think the softer bottles buckle too easily and inhibit the osmosis effect - I had soft bottles on 2 baby shrubs and hardly any water was used, maybe a few cc at most. Cheers.
For those worried about the plastic going in your vegatable plants perhaps you should try glass bottles like coke thik glass or eny thik glass, hoping that suggestion helps I feel your concern plastic sounds very good for maby flowers. Witch I'm not nuking seems like a very good idea.
Nice solution. I think it can be improved further by adding a cotton wick in the bottle extending into the pot soil in a circle around the plant. More uniform moisture that way. I plan to do some experiments on this
Vinny Chirayil thanks, try it but compare multiple ways with a control plant. If the soil is good, the moisture should spread thru the whole pot. Or at leas most of the pot without extra help.
A very good way to normally water plants in the garden (not in pots), especially young plants is to use a normal size plastic bucket and drill a hole about 4mm in the bottom at one side. Fill the bucket with water and sit it next to the plant. The water will very slowly empty into the soil and give the plant a very deep watering. Plants love deep watering because that's where their roots are. A deep watering is much better than a few shallow waterings, especially in summer when shallow waterings will mostly evaporate.
Nice :) Do a test few days before to make sure it's not too slow or too fast. Make more holes if it's too slow or change the cap and do less holes if it's too fast. :)
Thank you for the video 👍 This method is based on so called "Capillary action" and works very well so the sun doesn't have to warm the bottle. I gave water with this kind of method to my grape tree for 6 weeks. I just used bigger 10 liter bottles. Tree survived 2 months without my irrigation.
One question! I don’t water some of my plants everyday so if I follow your process will my plants get too much water as the bottle will automatically release water when sunlight hits like you said? Thanks

Found out today that my plants (gifted to me by my grandfather before he died) survived two months with this method. I am so happy about it, thank you so much for the tip
I was sort of hoping to see someone who succeeded for such a long time. Planning to go away for around two months but don't want my beloved indoor plants to suffer. Did you put bigger recipients in all of them or was a bottle enough?
@@AlexzyaBB it is a long time, and I guess it also depends what plants you have. my christmas cactus and amaryllis both survived with 0.5L bottles, my cyclamen wilted completely with a 1.5L... I hadn't expected to be away for so long!
@@tasribarahman907 There was not any water left. I experimented more and found the water runs out in about 4-7 days depending on hole size/number. You could try using 2 bottles - one with 4 holes and another with 2 and putting both in the pot (if you have room)
I'm not going on vacation, but I'm going to try this anyway. I live in an arid climate and it got up to 43 C last year. This method should help my plants stay healthy between watering. Thank you. Jon in rural BC, Canada
Canada and dry? which part? there is a drink called canada dry. I do this method for years for few plants.. and wick method google it.. put a natural fabric, cotton, or natural little rope, in a bottle place it higher a bit than the plant, place the other end of the rope to the soil, coiling it. this will always work..see my other longer post here for more details.
I put two 1 gallon buckets filled with water next to my plants, put some string between the buckets and of my pots (peppers and basils). Covered the buckets with plastic bags and went on vacation. Came home a little over a month later and the plants were still thriving, the peppers even flowering.

Alhamdulillah, now I can go away and not worry so much about my plants. Jazakallah khairn.
After so many videos.... finally something easy that I can do...
People who have given thumbs down are the friends who normally get paid to water the plants, now they are jobless

I know this is an older video but this is Priceless. I have to leave a few days but no money for a watering system. Thank You So Much! 😎
Thanks for watching!
Saved me money and time. I couldn't find those watering bulbs and I decided to Google just in case there was another method. Thank you!

Thank you, will definitely give that a try - looks like a great solution
A great solution to my problem. Thanks for the tip.
It worked perfectly and I moved my caladium out of the sun just to help a bit more. I used two 2 litre bottles in each pot.

@@din2339 I had the same question...
Nobody ever comes back to answer a question.... :(

Do a test few days before to make sure it's not too slow or too fast.
Make more holes if it's too slow or change the cap and do less holes if it's too fast. :)
Great ideas!.. thank you
Thanks a lot
Great idea for easily putting the tiny holes in the cap. I can't wait to try this one. Good video
Brilliant! Thankx. 😀😀
I did everything from video, but the water is coming out to fast. I punch out 4 small holes!! what am i doing wrong. I go on vac this week!!!
Make 2-3 holes, try it like that. If it's still flowing too fast make the holes smaller.
Great tip.. I'll try it tomorrow

Hi, For plants that need less water, just make less holes.
Try with 2 or 3 holes.
If it's 2 it might not flow at all so better 3 small holes.
Thank you 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
80% of people watching this video are stoners who are panicked about their babies dying while away lol
Does this work for plants indoors with no sunlight?
Would this work for outdoor plants? what if it rains?
did you try to make a similar small hole at the bottom of the bottle?! then water can easier go out and pressure will not squize the bottle
Didn't try that, it might work
Been searching for this method. Yours is the simplest, best method for me. Love it. Please see John 3:3 3:16 14:6 Thanks and God bless

2 months is a long time.
Depends on your weather.
If you have 10-20L containers use gravity to water them or a timer.
@@AlexzyaBB it is a long time, and I guess it also depends what plants you have. my christmas cactus and amaryllis both survived with 0.5L bottles, my cyclamen wilted completely with a 1.5L... I hadn't expected to be away for so long!
I used a 1 liter Essentia bottle with 3 holes on a large peace lily. I left for 11 days and the plant was better than ever upon returning. Thanks!
Were there still water in the bottle? Because I will be away for almost 15 days
@@tasribarahman907 There was not any water left. I experimented more and found the water runs out in about 4-7 days depending on hole size/number. You could try using 2 bottles - one with 4 holes and another with 2 and putting both in the pot (if you have room)
what's the temperature when you try this?
thank you - this will help enormously! :)
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Hmm you solved my problem 😙😉
i will be going on a trip for 5 days and i hope this will work.
Do a test before just to be sure it's all good
Good idea removed my tense
I do not know if I do it wrongly, the water doesn't flow unless I squeezed the bottle
You can try to make a few more holes.
Bottle cap should touch the soil for water to seep out slowly.
We went on a 11 day long trip and it helped the plant grow...I love it
Taras kul of plants
I'm not going on vacation, but I'm going to try this anyway. I live in an arid climate and it got up to 43 C last year. This method should help my plants stay healthy between watering.

I do this method for years for few plants.. and wick method google it.. put a natural fabric, cotton, or natural little rope, in a bottle place it higher a bit than the plant, place the other end of the rope to the soil, coiling it. this will always work..see my other longer post here for more details.

How does it works without having holes on the both side?

thank you for this video! this seems like the easiest method i've found so far. i'll be testing it next week when i go on vacation
Did it work
Bro it worked?????
@@advaitkulkarni2513 it actually did, the leaves were a little yellow but they were alive
@@tejas826 thanks for replying
People please stop telling the world when you're going on vacation, especially when you're using your full name!
does this method also work in full soil ? without a pot ? like a greenhouse
Works anywhere, you would use a timer in a green house.
Thank you for this video. I travel often and live with someone who refused to water my plants. Your tip is very helpful to me.
If possible..Get rid of that someone who does not want to water a plant....!!!
@@MrIDKing a person who does not respect your plants, does not respect you as a person 😂 😉
