Is there some secret to this? Either I’m trying to cautiously untangle the plant without breaking any leaves so I can water it in the sink or I’m leaking water all of the floor.
I put trays in the hanger
This is the best option
So simple but makes a ton of sense.
I have 4 of these. Two of them are the ones that have integrated water catchers and only overflow if they are overwatered. One I’ve put a saucer in with the pot and one I just have to put a towel under it. I’d say the best option is the one with a saucer, you can visibly see that it’s flowed through, you can add gravel to improve humidity.
I put a water bottle with a hole in the cap facing down and adjust the drippage. Like this: https://sagesacre.com/2021/02/12/garden-hack-diy-water-bottle-drip-watering-system/#
You can just flip the whole bottle without the cap and stick it into the soil if the vase is big or the bottle is small enough
This works very well in my experience, but I feel like it defies the aesthetic purpose of the macrame.
Idk if it’s just me but the image won’t load for some reason. Are you basically watering it gradually enough that it never drains out the bottom of the pot?
Sorry, I just edited the message so you can check it better.
TL;DR: Yes. It’s just a drip system that doesn’t flood the vase.
Thank you :)
Some people put ice cubes straight in the pot, so it’s a slower absorption. You could also just have a ‘watering towel’ that you can throw on the floor under the plants if you water them in place? Finally, if you can get them to the sink easily, maybe you could use a glass watering globe to slide through the plant matter?
i have a hose attachment for my bathtub and a springy coil hose. you can find lots of attachments for various sinks to a hose connector. good for bathing doggies too! :)
