This video describes an amazing way to keep your existing plants hydrated and to germinate any new plants. Follow the simple video instructions to cut back watering of houseplants, container plantings or even plants in your garden…
watch the video here and be amazed at how the gel in disposable diapers can help hydrate your plants.
Your houseplants benefit from repotting every few years as the nutrients in the soil get depleted. I plan to repot my houseplants as soon as the weather here permits me to take the plants into my garage or out on the back deck to do so. If your houseplants do not need repotting, try adding some of the gel from the disposable diapers to the existing soil as demonstrated in the video.
The soil in your gardens should also be amended (nutrients added to it) every year or at least every second year. Good soil is the number one requirement of a great and successful garden. This spring I plan to add some of the gel found in disposable diapers as suggested in the video, especially in the hot and dry areas of my gardens.
In the meantime, I will buy some diapers!
Who knew? I need to do this – especially during the dry winter months for my poor plants inside. What a great idea – thanks!

I lost all my houseplants when my kids were young, my middle son used to pour apple juice into the pots, and I actually caught him peeing in one once LOL
