Steps to make this homemade watering system:

1. Drill a hole in the cork in the middle. The narrower the hole, the longer the self-made irrigation system will work.

2. Then dig an about 2 inches small pit in the flower pot.

3. And lastly, get a full bottle of water, seal it with a cork and dig it into the ground with the neck down. One bottle is enough for 4-5 days.

4. Repeat the same procedure with the other houseplants.
 

That's it. Using this simple trick will ensure that your plants don't miss you a lot and you can also enjoy your time off without a worry.
