On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share the laziest way to water potted plants while away on vacation. If you own potted plants or a container garden, leaving home for extended periods can be stressful since potted plants can die if they go too long without water. This method is how I water my plants when I'm away from home.
The plant saucers featured in this video are 16 inches and 18 inches in diameter. The 16 inch plant saucers are excellent for standard plastic nursery containers up to 10 gallons. The 18 inch plant saucers work well for my 15 gallon plastic nursery containers. Dimensions do not apply to fabric grow bags, which are much wider than plastic nursery containers. Verify all dimensions before purchasing. The plant saucers and nursery containers I use are linked below.
