Next, you’ll want to protect your seedlings. For this step, you’ll want to start saving your empty toilet paper rolls. Once you have the rolls, grab a pair of scissors and cut three slits into one side. Fold over the flaps you created and fill the roll with soil. Place your seeds or succulents into the cups you created and put them in their respective planters. Top any extra cardboard sticking out with some more soil.
Prevent Dry Roots
Keeping your plants hydrated is crucial, but luckily, protecting your plants from dry roots is super simple. Grab some baking cups from your kitchen and just line your planters with them before pouring in your soil. It’s small preventative measures like this that really help your garden thrive!
DIY Water Reservoir
Another great way to make sure your plants aren’t thirsty is this DIY water reservoir. To make it, you’ll need any plastic soda or water bottle. Remove the cap and repeat the drilling process from step 1. Take a knife and cut off the bottom of the bottle and place the cap back on. Place the bottle into the soil, cap side down, and fill with water.
