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

Enjoy the summer worry-free: plant care while you are on holiday!

Are you off to spend a week with your feet in the Spanish sun, or would you rather roam the jungles of Ubud? Whatever you choose, one thing is certain: your plants need your attention while you are off on an adventure. But who looks after your green friends when you are not there? No worries! With this golden tip, your plants will survive your absence without you having to call in a plant sitter.

A clever watering system: your lifesaver

You might be wondering: "How do I water my plants when I am not there?" Don't panic! A simple watering system keeps your plants thriving while you are lying happily in the sun. Did you know you can easily make one yourself? Time to bring out your creative side and get started!

Make your own watering system

What do you need? A bucket or large pan, a thin piece of string and a few paper clips. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Fill the bucket: fill your bucket with water and put it on a table or cabinet. Make sure it stands higher than your plants.

2. Cut and attach: cut the string into several pieces and attach a paper clip to each one. Hang the paper clips in the bucket of water so they stay in place.

3. Place and tuck in: spread the strings across your plants and tuck them firmly into the soil.

Because the bucket stands higher than your plants, the water will travel down all by itself. The principle of capillary action does its magic!

Relax and enjoy!

Now that you have made your own watering system, you can enjoy your holiday with complete 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 friends manage perfectly well on their own. With this clever solution you are not only a globetrotter but a responsible plant parent too!

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