The Easy Way To Water Your House Plants

>17 August 2009

watering-mediumI’m all about finding the simplest, yet most effective ways to do things around the house. That’s why I love this method of watering my house plants. It’s much easier than trying to pour water into each plant without spilling any water or making a mess. Wanna know my trick…?

Use ice cubes! I simply drop a few ice cubes into the pot of a droopy plant; no fuss, no mess. The cubes gradually melt, slowly watering the plant as they go.

    Does the cold shock it or anything? I don’t know anything about plants! =)

    How clever! I’ll most certainly be trying this! I’ve been using water used to boil corn on the cob/pasta/etc. so as not to waste water (and money!) but on days when I don’t have any water waiting for use, I’ll try this! Great tip!

    Tarena,

    I have never had a problem with a plant being “shocked” by the cold ;)

    What a great idea! We have a high hanging plant that my son can’t water good, so this would work great for that!
