How To Create Do It Yourself Watering Bulbs For Indoor Plants?

Convert 16-20oz plastic bottles or one-liter plastic bottles into self-watering plant bulbs using a candle and a nail. For houseplants, it is not recommended to use two-liter bottles, but larger sizes may be useful in your garden. Light a candle and carefully hold the nail in the flame to heat the bottle up.

The wine bottle method is another DIY watering bulb idea that can be used for indoor foliage plants without hiring a plant sitter. This method involves filling a glass bottle with water and burying the neck towards the root of your house plant. A cap or cork is not always necessary, especially if the plant has been thoroughly watered beforehand.

For drought-sensitive fruits and veggies, glass beer or soda bottles can be used as watering globes. Simply fill a bottle with water, set a terracotta spike in the soil next to your plant, and insert the bottle into the spike. Water seeps through the spike.

To make a self-watering planter, light the candle, heat the tip of the nail in the candle flame, and poke four to five holes around the neck of the bottle. You will need a small bottle with a long, narrow neck (such as a hot sauce bottle or mini wine bottle), hot soapy water, vinegar (to remove the label), tissue, and the right size of watering bulb for your plant.

In summary, these DIY watering bulb ideas are easy to create and perfect for those who forget to water their plants on time. They are perfect for vacations where no one is home to water the plants.
