Nu arunca buretele vechi de vase. Trucul simplu care poate ajuta plantele din ghiveci • Newsweek România

Old kitchen sponges can be reused in gardening to help potted plants retain moisture. When placed at the bottom of a pot, they absorb excess water and release it gradually. However, this method has risks, such as hindering proper drainage and promoting mold growth if the sponge remains too wet. It's best suited for plants that tolerate drier soil and requires regular checks for excess moisture. Additionally, sponges can be used to clean garden hoses by cutting and inserting them into the hose, where they can dislodge algae and deposits. Biodegradable sponges are recommended to avoid microplastics in the soil.
