Hello Everyone !
Welcome to a new video.
Most of us will be having indoor plants
or would like to have some in the future, right ?
At least some of us who keep the indoor plants
would have faced this problem,
our plants die at some stage.
The main reason for this is over watering our plants
or not watering enough.
I am introducing a solution for this problem, in this video
Name of this small instrument is Moisture Meter.
We can buy one moisture meter from online shops
like Amazon or from our local garden shops.
If you have one of this moisture meter,
we can precisely measure the water level in the plant pots,
and water our plants only as needed and care for our plants .
Let me now show you how to use this moisture meter
and go straight to the video
This moisture meter has three main readings
They are Dry, Moist and Wet
It also has a copper tube and tip
When we insert this copper tip into the soil of the plant
Water level will be shown here on this dial
If it need to be watered, it shows Dry
If it is enough, it show moist and if too much, it shows Wet
I will now show you how to test in the plant pots
See the reading here, when I inserted the copper tube
of this moisture meter into the soil
It shows just enough water and no need to water this plant
This also shows just enough water and no need to water
See this pot, it is showing Dry. There is not enough water.
This pot shows Wet means too much water in here.
We only need to water this plant after two or three weeks
Let me now show you how to water your plants
I am going to show you a new method of watering here.
Some of you might already know this method
I am using method to water my plants all the time
The reason for that is
If you water your pot plants from top,
top soil in the pot will be always wet
That encourages insects and other creatures
to lay eggs and multiply there.
Mainly, insects such as Fungus Gnats
But in this method of watering from the bottom,
Top soil in the pot will be always dry
and such insects will stay away from your pots
I have uploaded a video in the past,
on how to get rid of Fungus Gnats
Link to that video is given below in the description
I have uploaded another video last week
That was about 20 plus Indoor Plants that I have
For those you would like to know what are those plants,
link to that video is given below in the description
I have uploaded a video on Air Plants, in the past.
If anyone interested to know about Air Plants,
link to that video is given below in the description
I have taken a wide open dish that can hold our pots
and poured water into it.
Then place out pot plant in that water
It need to cover around the half of the pot height
Then we need to wait for around ten minutes.
After waiting for ten minutes or so, remove the pot and
hold it up to remove the excess water
and place the pot back to its position
While using this method,
we see that we are not wasting any water.
Most of the water we poured in the beginning stays there.
Soil in the pot absorb the required water from the pan
through the holes below.
We just need to keep the pot inside the water for 10 to 15 minutes,
remove the excess water and place it back in position.
It is very easy to do it,
there won't be any flies around our home,
our plant pots will be always staying dry
and we can easily maintain our indoor plants, healthy.
Can I hope that this small video on this moisture meter
and how to use it, was useful for you ?
Until I come back with another useful video like this one,
Bye. Bye Everyone !
