Moisturizer for plants

I have a problem with dry plants 12 months of the year,m due to the drought & water restrictions. I know with indoor plants, a mist spray is a good idea. Another idea is to put all the pot plants in your bathroom once each week. Leave them in for the day. For my outdoor plants, due to not being allowed to water with a hose, I bought these spiky things that go in the ground. Then I collect empty 2 litre drink bottles & attach them to the spike. I cut out a hole at the top of the drink bottle. I use a watering can to fill it up. The water slowly drains into the soil right next to the plant, & goes down to the roots. It is a life saver for some of my plants. I dont know how well that method would work with indoor plants. It should work for large ones.

Indoor plants? Like my cats would allow that! And even if they did, I'd kill them. Heck, I kill them outside if they aren't trees... Killed a few of those too, just not all of them like I have with "house" plants. Of course, there was the one bush I dillengently tried to kill! It started out taller than the roof, and every year I went out and cut more of it off.... I think it was actually some kind of "red tip something or other" but I called it a "stinky bush" because the flowers stunk to me.

Have you tried to wipe the leaves done with the inside of a banana peel? That will shine them up and give them some oil it might give them some moisture also. It is good for the plants and give them such a great shine.

That sounds very sensible. heating in the room really can dry skin. so if humans need moisturisers to keep our skin from drying out, plants do too! i don't need a humidifier here cos it's already very humid. i still water my new plant once every two days. i was away for about 6 days and the little leaves on top turned yellow and fell off! so I'm hoping i get it restored to good health soon by watering it reguarly again.

If you have a crock pot you can fill it with water and leave the lid off and this will help put moisture back into the air. That's the only thing I can think of besides the humidifier.

well in the summer i sprayed my plants everyday, and they grew quick, this winter my plants do fine and i dotn really have to bug them. the only problem i had was with my outside plant that i had to bring inside. I would spray it everyday and water when it was outside then i brought it inside and it started dying. I had to move it right under the window so it gets maximum sunlight and now its booming agian. I live in Texas so it real humid here. I still have to water that one plant everyday and spray it everyday. It does depend on the plant what kind of light it needs, how much water it needs ect. what is happening to it will also tell you whats wrong is the leaves turning brown or yellow. I dotn know they may not be getting enough sunlight.

Create a mini humidifer for your plants. Take s saucer that is one or two sizes bigger than the pot and put some small rocks in it. Set the pot on top and fill the saucer with water. As the water evaporates, it adds moisture to the air around your plants. Check the saucers at least every other day cause if the air is really dry, the water will evaporate that much quicker.
