Pets need responsibility
.. that too, and I have managed kill/dry the only two potted plants that I had ... both were cacti
Plants are easy
I just own plants that can tolerate drought and flooding
Cacti are relatively delicate
Ficus that is grafted onto a bulbous tree (for example an african bottle tree) will tolerate up to 2 months of no water
And the roots of that tree also tolerate soaking wet conditions without suffocating or rotting too
@tereško Ultimately you can buy a drip-feed watering setup that will keep providing water at fixed intervals and you only need to change out bottles once a few months
Needs a bit of trial and error though
This one comes with a regulator
I will have to look up something like that, because right after newyears I am moving in a new apartment and I want some potted plants there
In my experience one 2L bottle for a small-medium plant lasts 2-3 months
Oh and you want a bottle that is not transparent
Because algae can grow in a transparent one
naah, I don't need a getto solution, since at this point I can actually afford paying for stuff
Electronic ones are easier to set up
You only need one for several plants
unfortunately that solution doesn't really work well over larger distances
You can buy one that connects to the water main
those multi-plant options are for either crazy people of ones who grow flowers/weed professionally
Those things though, have a 1% chance to flood your house/flat
1% chance is actually quite a lot
Not necessarily for growers
People that have jobs where they are away at extended periods of times use those too
Well, less than 1%
Maybe 0.001%, but still I heard the stories where it happened
There are ways to make it work flawlessly: systems that work like toilet bowls are more reliable than those that connect to the pipe directly and use mains pressure
I.e. you want a system that refills the main tank with a float switch, but pumps out of that tank with its own electric pump for dip feed
Float valves are exponentially more reliable than the pressure regulators on the pipe
U could also use a watering can lol
I already offered that
if you are for a month in a different country - you can't
tereshko wants something that beeps when empty
Most anime suck at being unique
most anime is isekai (lately)
I agree so much Cooltic
