The universal watering artifact is a small straw that is specially designed to cure root rot and yellow leaves!

Insert a straw before watering to prevent root rot

I am always worried about root rot when watering. What should I do? Just stick a straw in the flowerpot! Straws can not only increase water permeability and avoid root flooding, but also prevent soil compaction!

method:

1. Prepare a few long straws and insert them into the soil along the edge of the flower pot until they reach the bottom of the pot.

2. Pour coarse sand into the straw. When it is full, pull out the straw to form a coarse sand column. In this way, when watering the flowers, you can ensure that the upper and lower soil layers are filled with water, avoiding soil compaction, stratification or waterlogging and root rot.

Bamboo sticks to judge when to water

1. Find a bamboo stick, insert it into the flowerpot, and then pull it out. If the bamboo stick is wet, it means you water it too frequently and you need to reduce the watering frequency. If the bamboo stick is dry and the color does not change much, it means there is a lack of water and you need to water it quickly!

2. Insert a bamboo stick into the soil. If the color is very dark when you take it out, it means there is enough moisture and you don’t need to water it for the time being. If you pull it out again after a few days, the color will be obviously lighter, and you can water it now!

3. When to water: Use a bamboo stick to measure the humidity of the soil in the pot frequently. When the bamboo stick turns yellow or white, you can water it.

If there are no bamboo sticks, flower lovers can also use chopsticks instead, preferably disposable chopsticks, the color change is obvious~

Homemade watering device with straw

Now that we can grasp the timing of watering, how do we control the amount of water? Huahua teaches you how to use 1 straw + 1 mineral water bottle to make your own watering artifact - a squeeze watering bottle. You no longer have to worry about too much water causing root rot!

Benefits of a Squeeze-Type Watering Bottle

1. Control the direction of water flow: The slender straw is very convenient for adjusting the direction of water flow to prevent it from pouring on the leaves and causing leaf rot and heart rot. It is especially suitable for succulents with dense leaves!

2. Control the amount of water: Squeeze-type watering makes it easy to control the amount of water and avoid root rot caused by excessive watering.

Production steps

1. Prepare materials: complete plastic bottle, screwdriver, straw

2. Drilling: Use a lighter or gas stove to heat the head of the screwdriver, and then quickly drill a hole in the bottle cap.

3. Insert the straw into the hole, fill the bottle with water, and you can use it to water the flowers!

Now, all watering problems are solved!
