i really appreciate your effort to save plants from drying. i got ideas from this video that will help me in my project how to educate people to keep earth clean and green thanks
Thank you so much for this idea. I am glad I ran into your video, I will do this procedure that you simply instructed. we're going a weekly get away, your footage is straight to the point and direct, i thank you for this video. have a good day. ~marvin~
Useful tip: wrap your pot with plastic bags with water then knot the top to prevent quick evaporation. Same effect as the plate method but could last for 2-3 weeks.
last time while I was away I leave a bunch of food to compost but completley open when I returned after 9 months I found that some of my plants so much that I needen a new pot and I also had tomatoes and chia.
Instead of the usual soda bottle self watering planter.... I just need to upgrade the water source. I'll put it a longer wick. Instead of the soda bottle's bottom half, replace it with a full *5 gallon* water container. Duct tape the "pot" to the 5 gallon container to secure it.
@@andreeacoman89 what's the difference between what he suggested and the saucer method? doesn't the saucer, which is filled with water, help to cause gnats or fungi? maybe sprinkling some cinnamon on the soil would help?
Long trip:3 days…. I was looking for a guide to give enough water for at least 2 weeks. Water dispenser that I’ve bought or are too fast or completely stuck with a drop of water which stay swinging for hours and hours….
Hi, i will try the method 1, but how to know if 1 "rope" is enough for each plant/pot size? Do you really need to put the rope in the soil or you just can let the drops fall, by just put the rope over the soil? Thanks!
yeah. a lot of these tips are awful. and according to the video, the saucer was supposed to collect rain water. If there's rain, then there's no need for the saucer. not to mention, all that still water is a mosquito breeding hazard..
Well if you leave it that way forever eventually yeah root rot but as soon as you're done with your vacation just take it out better than not having water
@@onemanarmyoma0155 oh damn, and here I was thinking they meant Frostbite by Callyman Sam. Check it out, and you're welcome for the experience you'll have listening to it ;D *evil cackle*
For option 3 wouldn't there need to be a hole in the top of the bottle too to allow the water to drip out? When i try this without a hole in top the water still stays inside the bottle.
For the 3rd method, wouldn't we eventually form a vacuum inside the bottle, due to the water being expelled out of the bottle not being replaced with air for the surrounding, thus eventually stopping water flow?
I would also think that once the soil is dry enough, air will enter the bottle from the same opening to equalize the pressure. Just like when you turn an uncapped bottle upside down you get alternating water and air flows
Using the string method, why is it necessary to bury the end of the string in the plant soil? Couldn't I just coil it around on the surface of the pot? I could do that and not disturb the plant roots in the pot.
because then only the top of the soil would get watered. the surface-level roots would absorb all the water before it can seep to the bottom. buy burying the string, you get a more even moisture level across the entire soil depth, top to bottom
Ok but for real I love plants and I haven't watered mine for 3 days because I'm away from home :(((and im scared that my little plants might be all dead when I get home because their soil gets dry very quick 😤😭
Nah I don't trust friend and neighbors to water my babies. They will either forget, under water, or over water. None of them garden or know anything about plants. Lol. I may try the empty soda bottle method in my garden bed. I'll use 2 one on each end as it's a 10 ft bed. For the plants in pots two of them have a design in the pot itself where you could fill the bottom with water so I'll be doing that for those two and for the other six I'm going to do a pot with water and use water wicking rope coming out of it for those plants I think I'm just going to keep them on my porch so they get some light but not direct light.
I use hydro spikes/stakes that fit any water bottle. You can buy the spikes for a few dollars at your local DIY. For the bigger plants, I just place two in a pot.
I can better this on basis of my ideas and skills i can make a prograam and electronic system which will give water to plant according to requirements by checking wetness of soil if anyone required this system contact me 😊
TheLAKERSareGodsTeam said he would not have a a problem but with no response in sha to to follow me on instagram the way I do not not have to give you any
If you create a temporary terrarium which collects whatever water that evaporates and direct the condensation back into the plant, the water will recycle itself. This will buy you more time while you are away for more than a week.
@@parnika1751 i can help first click play then watch the video it will tell you how to do it if you you want a permanent solution just keep adding water or make a automatic irrigation system with a raspberry a moisture sensor and a pump(you could buy one but why do that when you can make it)
I once told my cousin to take care of my fish like 12 one. Returned after 4 days to find it was turned to sth like a toilet with awful smell and all fish died except for one and its still alive and i take care of it
Has happen to some of you to use these methods, come back from holidays and find your plants dead? To me this happened last year 😢It doesn’t work for long periods.
Your ideas are old 😃 I will going and making a clock which will give power to my homemade water pump motor and through pvc pipes hole it will go on plants something thug right
wow, the last method is absolute genius, how did I not think of it!
I sense a bit of sarcasm here....
@@Gr8wazuno shit Sherlock
so true
Depending if you can trust your neighbours or friends, otherwise, your plants can disappear or died if they forget to water for you.
Kidding😂?
The last method just blew my mind.
Be very careful what plants you sit in a dish of water. Many plants do not appreciate wet feet.
I was wondering if it would work in my pot plants. Thanks 👍 420
You’re so cool for that comment
Hi also wondering this..did any of those methods work?😳 mine are soo picky with watering
If you are unable to find someone to water plants. Method 5 Find someone to water your plants. :D.

I’m glad I found this video! I will probably use the saucer method!
but sounds like this stagnant water in sauce will attract mosquito breeding?
i really appreciate your effort to save plants from drying. i got ideas from this video that will help me in my project how to educate people to keep earth clean and green thanks

Method no 5 is very practical and makes my plants died before! YES
I actually want to hear the story behind that
@@TannerTani someone they told to water didn't water, simple🤷♀️

Great, thanks
Wouldn't the saucer method lead to root rot?
Good tips.Another method is to water the plants thoroughly before you go on your trips. the water retained may last a few days.
You want gnats? Cause that's how you get gnats....
@@andreeacoman89 what's the difference between what he suggested and the saucer method? doesn't the saucer, which is filled with water, help to cause gnats or fungi?

Did you try it and did it work?
I tried it but didnt work😅
i think the saucer method is very easy
I like method 2!
I am Groot!
Thank u💞
If i soak my pot in a saucer, wont it drown from over water? Wont it cause root to rot?
yeah. a lot of these tips are awful. and according to the video, the saucer was supposed to collect rain water. If there's rain, then there's no need for the saucer. not to mention, all that still water is a mosquito breeding hazard..
Well if you leave it that way forever eventually yeah root rot but as soon as you're done with your vacation just take it out better than not having water

Can we put a hole on the downside up end of the bottle to maintain the pressure?

Using the string method, why is it necessary to bury the end of the string in the plant soil? Couldn't I just coil it around on the surface of the pot? I could do that and not disturb the plant roots in the pot.
I think it's good for roots to get aerated sometimes anyway.
because then only the top of the soil would get watered. the surface-level roots would absorb all the water before it can seep to the bottom. buy burying the string, you get a more even moisture level across the entire soil depth, top to bottom
What kind of string?
Put the string in backwards and now my plants are dry as a bone and the glass is full 🤦♂️
Wait, what do u mean u put the string backwards?
LMAO
Wdym
not because the string was backward , but because your glass lid was lower than that of the plant pot -__-
WTF? lol..
Very useful tips
I hope, it doesn't over water the plant! Bz all r indoor plants, kept in open balcony without direct sunlight.
Plz guide.
Find a friend... that's the hardest one...
Or you could just use one of those water globes they sell specifically for plants
too small...
Can I use a straw??
Method 1 , what string can I use ?
Maybe a shoe lace
Ok but for real I love plants and I haven't watered mine for 3 days because I'm away from home :(((and im scared that my little plants might be all dead when I get home because their soil gets dry very quick 😤😭
@Noah Tunnell i wanna know xD
I want to find out a way that plants can absorb water by itself when it needs water...........is there anyway???
Last method invite neighbor to water & rob you're place. 😅
Water will evaporation from the bare string
Evaporate**. Also, evaporation only happens if sunlight is shining directly to the string or water
I only have one question?how do you berry the bottle with the holes without getting it empty ?
You bury the bottle first before filling it up with water.
You have to be fast loll
@@anushthanvishwakarma4837 makes sense xD
close the cap extremely tight first, then loosen it a little once u placed it in
@@jiangruixiang8778 makes sense.Thank you.Be safe.
Nice
Or get a very thin tubing.or drop watering.

weird flex but no one cares and probably not true

"Ask a friend water your plants". I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS
My plant needs a bottle off water each second day, but how am I going to keep it alive on a three week vacation?😩
I’ll need to get some beer bottles now 😉
I also need to get some pot.

I was thinking "what if I put the plant inside transparent trash bag and create mini green house?"
@@aspirativemusicproduction2135 I believe that would work
@MensaGiraffe I hope so. Most of my plants can survive a month or more without watering but I have about 3 or four plants I am not sure about.
@Aspirative Music Production did it work?
Method 2 does not work. If tried severa reiterations of it and all of them end up with an empty watter bottle in a matter of hours.
that's why you have to need a lid. Tighten and the water won't drip, so loose it a little for small drips.
@@AdrianBigyes that makes sense I think LOL

Try olla pots
Omg the way she talks 🤣🤣🤣
I need someone to water :-)
You should go with automatic with timer
👍
Well the first one won’t work due to overwatering. and overwatering in plants can cause root rot, plus the fact that they have no sun.
How the water is not being absorbed fast enough to make soil soggy.
Your ideas are old 😃 I will going and making a clock which will give power to my homemade water pump motor and through pvc pipes hole it will go on plants something thug right
