Caring for plants, whether indoors or in a garden, can be a delightful yet challenging task. Fortunately, there are several DIY hacks that can make plant care more efficient and enjoyable.
Easy Garden Reorganization
For those who love to rearrange their garden, the ‘plant-in-a-pot’ landscaping design is a game-changer. By using pots of the same size nested within each other, you can easily switch out plants as desired. This method is especially useful for bringing plants indoors during winter or for quickly changing seasonal plants. It allows for effortless experimentation with color and placement, giving your garden a fresh look whenever you want.
Efficient Soil and Water Management
Managing soil and water for plants can be tricky. A simple solution for deep planters is to fill the bottom with old cans and plant pots. This improves drainage and creates air pockets for better aeration, leading to healthier soil. Additionally, to prevent water from settling at the bottom of pots and causing root rot, try using old sponges. Cut them up and place them at the bottom of the pot. Sponges retain moisture and create necessary air space, preventing water from flushing out the bottom and keeping the soil moist for a longer period.
