Temperatures are skyrocketing in the Eastern US and it's a reminder to check our plants are staying hydrated. One of my favorite ways to keep pot plants (and even houseplants) watered without spending hours going back and forth with my watering can is using terracotta watering spikes.
Terracotta watering spikes are ingenious tools that sit in plant pots filled with water. Because terracotta is porous, the water is slowly released into the surrounding soil, keeping plant roots consistently moist. Right now, I've got my eye on this 15-pack of Amazon terracotta watering spikes for just $22.89. Stocking up on them now will ensure my container garden is prepped for the summer months ahead.
