Solve All Your Plant Problems and Avoid Overwatering with One Simple Item…Diapers

When it comes to caring for plants, some people have green thumbs and the rest of us do everything we can to keep plants alive but without success. The rules are simple though. Give them plenty of sunshine, fertilize them twice a year, and keep the soil moist not wet. The last step is where many people fail and overwatering is the number one cause of plants dying because the roots simply rot with too much water.

Keep your Plants Happy and Avoid Overwatering with Diapers in your planters.

Fortunately, YouTuber Grant Thompson – “The King of Random”, offers a solution that only needs one clean adult diaper. Diapers can hold a lot of water because of water crystals that can hold as much as 500 times their weight in water. By mixing it with your soil, you get a rich super soil that stays always damp, and any excess water is absorbed by the crystals.

Creating Your Own Super Soil

To create this super soil, simply cut open a clean adult diaper and remove the water-absorbing crystals. Mix the crystals with your potting soil at a ratio of approximately one part crystal to four parts soil. The resulting blend will ensure that the soil remains consistently damp, as the crystals absorb excess water and release it back into the soil when needed. This significantly reduces the risk of overwatering and root rot, helping your plants thrive.

Benefits and Applications

Using diaper crystals in your garden is not only effective but also safe and environmentally friendly. These crystals are non-toxic and biodegradable so you can also use them in your vegetable garden too. The super soil created with these crystals is beneficial for a wide range of plants, including flowers, shrubs, and trees. It is particularly helpful for individuals who struggle with maintaining proper soil moisture levels or who live in areas with irregular rainfall.
