4 Essentials For The Indoor Plant Enthusiast From Spares2You
Indoor gardening has gotten more and more popular as urban development, and the lack of suitable planting space (backyard space, gardens, etc.) creates a need for other gardening solutions for people who like to get their hands dirty.
Millennials are buying more plants than they have kids and for a good reason. Plants are relatively much less expensive and need less care than another human, while beautifying homes, adding to food in a pinch, and giving a boost of happiness by just having them around.
For beginners, it can be daunting not knowing what tools to use for mixing soil, watering plants, applying fertiliser and just generally pottering about with indoor plants. These tools from Spares2You should be in every indoor plant enthusiasts gardening kit in addition to their go-to gardening tools.
Watering Spikes
Overwatering is the bane of every plant owner. Plants need water to survive, but too much of it (or too little) can result in brown and yellowing leaves, and the ultimate death of any plant, root rot.
Watering spikes are a nifty invention that has taken the plant community by storm. Choose the size of spike so that it is perfect for your plant, fill the flask with water, and insert it exactly where it’s needed, and you’re done! The weather controls the drip, so your plant is getting just as much water as it needs. These spikes can last up to 2-3 weeks, making it perfect for the travelling plant owner and plants hanging out of reach.
