    From the kitchen drawer into the plant pot

    Before you repot your plants or plant a new one, you need to find a sponge, like the one some of us use to do the washing-up. It might be a piece of the one you need to wash yourself.

    Put on the bottom of the pot, pour the soil and plant your beauties. That's it!

    Watering control

    This easy trick will keep the moisture on the right level. If you pour in too much water, the sponge will absorb the excess keeping the roots safe from rotting. If you happen to forget to water the plant, it will collect the water from the sponge.
