About this deal
If you’re a visual learner, I put together this short video below on how to do make the drip water hack as well. A pot full to the rim with soil, very dry or sandy soil that doesn’t absorb water quickly, foliage that spills over the side and channels water away, dense roots that prevent water from percolating down, or just a pot that’s hard or awkward to reach with your watering can.
You can fix that by putting a little stick under the cap, or adjusting the coat hanger holder, to give it a small amount of airspace between the soil and the bottle cap.
If you’re watering a smaller pot, you don’t need to fill the bottle all the way; just enough to give your plant a good drink without flooding it. Make sure you get a sprayer primarily for your houseplants and not reuse one you have used for outdoor pesticides," warns Watts, "You don't want to accidentally kill your plant-y friends!
During hot spells, or if you’re away for a weekend, try standing containers in deep plastic saucers. There are also soil-free alternatives such as hydroponics, LECA, or water propagating that can be beneficial for plants in hard-to-reach spots," says Watts.

Then bend the hanger at the end of the loop to make a straight piece several inches longer than the bottle itself.The climate is changing and gardeners are having to adapt to the less predictable extremes of weather such as the cold spring of 2018 and the long drought through the following summer.
