sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The plastic bottle is one of the classic elements for watering plants on holiday and can be used in three ways:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottle_head_against_the_ground\"><\/span>Bottle head against the ground<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first <strong>method of watering plants on holiday is very simple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Fill a bottle of water and bury it in the pot. Little by little, the water it contains will be released, ensuring the watering of your plants.<\/p>\n<p>This method is ideal for places with little space.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dripping_bottle\"><\/span>Dripping bottle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another way to use plastic bottles or any other material is to close them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fill the bottle with water, put the cap on it. <\/strong>Then turn the bottle over and open the cap little by little, just millimetres.<\/p>\n<p>When you see the water start to drip, place the bottle over the main stem of your plant or the centre of the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Leave it there and drop by drop you will have an efficient method of watering your plants on holiday.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hole_in_the_bottle\"><\/span>Hole in the bottle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, we will give you a method that is also simple and very effective.<\/p>\n<p>Take a plastic bottle, heat a cooking needle and open a very small hole at the base of the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Fill it with water and cover it. <strong>Closing the bottle prevents air from entering, so the water will not drip.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To make it work, open the cap of the bottle little by little, until the drop of water starts to flow.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing about this technique is that you can control the flow or amount of water your plants will receive during your absence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watering_plants_on_holiday_with_laces\"><\/span>Watering plants on holiday with laces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11539\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"Regar las plantas en vacaciones con cordones\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-75x39.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones-512x268.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Regar-las-plantas-en-vacaciones-con-cordones.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although it sounds comical or a bit of science fiction, the use of cords to water plants on holidays is a classic.<\/p>\n<p>All you need is a string, either an <strong>old shoelace or a piece of worsted<\/strong>, for each plant you have in the house.<\/p>\n<p>Place a large container with water in the center of the room where the plants will be during your vacation. Around it, place each of the plants that need continuous watering.<\/p>\n<p>Preferably, the container with the water should be a little higher than the plants.<\/p>\n<p>Now, insert one end of each string into the plant&#8217;s soil. Ideally, this should be towards the centre of the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Then, <strong>the other end of the cords are placed in the container containing the water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Again, we recommend that you try these methods of watering your plants on vacation before you leave. This way, you can make sure they work and you can correct any mistakes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greenhouses_for_small_plants\"><\/span>Greenhouses for small plants<span

those who have few plants at home and this one is small.<\/p>\n<p>A greenhouse creates an ideal environment for the plant to stay moist during the time you go out to enjoy your well-deserved vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Place an old piece of damp towel at the base of a transparent plastic bag. <strong>Place your plant&#8217;s pot on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bag must be transparent so that the sun&#8217;s rays can enter without any problem and reach your plant.<\/p>\n<p>Tie the edge of the bag, so that your plant is completely covered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t worry, the plant

During your vacation, make sure you recreate a space where the plants are not exposed to high or low temperatures, nor to the direct incidence of the sun.<\/p>\n<p>However, remember that the Sun is important and if they do not receive their energy you could find your plants dying when you return from your vacation.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer, the best thing to do is to put them in a room where they can receive the sun&#8217;s rays. We prefer that they do so in the early hours of the day, and then &#8211; as the temperature rises &#8211; they enjoy the clarity, but do not dry out.<\/p>\n<p>For the winter holidays the situation should be reversed, place the plants in a room where the sun hits them and they <strong>can counteract the natural cold<\/strong> of the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Before you go, check them. Clean them up, remove the dry leaves, prune them, make them beautiful and you will find them in better condition than you might expect.<\/p>\n<p>Buy or make a natural insecticide to keep pests away from your plants. During regular care, you can see any changes and act, but on vacation your response time can be very late.<\/p>\n<p>With a natural insecticide, applied to your plants before you leave on vacation, you will keep pests at bay. Remember that <strong>an aggressive pest infestation can leave you without plants in a short time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it would be ideal to add a little compost or organic fertilizer to your plants&#8217; pots before leaving on vacation. This way, you ensure that &#8211; in addition to the water &#8211; they receive the nutrients they need to live.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now everything is ready. <strong>Happy holidays!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watering plants on vacation doesn&#8217;t have to be a problem, there are options to keep green friends from drying out during your break time.
