Quick Tip - Slow Watering Your Plants


I love this trick - maybe you do this already and I was just under a rock for the last decade.  I saw this on a florist card and have been tending to my houseplants this way for a few months and am loving it!  This works especially well in pots that don't have built in drainage.

Do you see the ice cubes in the planter?

Put a few ice cubes in your houseplants for the weekly watering - no spilling, no leaking out the bottom, and your littles can even do it for you!

  1. This is the BEST TIP! Thank you so so much, Becky! Now if I can just remember to refill the ice cube trays regularly...;)

  2. Brilliant! Now I can in good conscience go buy some house plants! I so dislike watering indoor pants because of spillage, but no longer! Yay! Thanks :)

  4. Becky have you noticed that the cold is too shocking to the plants? That would be my only worry. I have some small orchids and don't want to kill them (although likely they will succumb to my black thumb anyway). Thanks for the wonderful idea.
