Going on holiday but don’t have a plant sitter? No need to worry!

Enjoy the summer worry-free: plant care during your vacation!

Are you soon planning to spend a week soaking up the sun in Spain, or would you prefer to wander through the jungles of Ubud? Whatever you choose, one thing is certain: your plants need your attention while you're off on your adventure. But who will take care of your green friends when you're not around? Don’t worry! With this handy tip, your plants will thrive in your absence without needing a plant sitter.

Smart watering system: your lifesaver

You might be wondering, “How do I water my plants when I’m not there?” No panic! With a simple watering system, you can ensure your plants continue to thrive even while you're relaxing in the sun. Did you know you can easily make this system yourself? It’s time to unleash your inner creator and get started!

Make your own watering system

What do you need? A bucket or large pot, a thin string, and some paper clips. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Fill the bucket: Fill your bucket with water and place it on a table or shelf. Make sure it is positioned higher than your plants.

2. Cut and attach: Cut the string into several pieces and attach a paper clip to each piece. Hang the paper clips in the bucket of water so that they remain submerged.

3. Place and insert: Distribute the strings over your plants and insert them well into the soil.

Since the bucket is higher than your plants, the water will naturally move downwards. The principle of capillary action will do its magic!

Relax and enjoy!

Now that you’ve created your own watering system, you can enjoy your vacation with peace of mind. Take a refreshing dip in the pool, settle down with a good book on the beach, or explore nature, while your green buddies take care of themselves. With this smart solution, you’re not only a globetrotter but also a responsible plant parent!

So, what are you waiting for? Set up that watering system and let the sun shine!
