Für diejenigen unter Ihnen mit großen Sammlungen: Wie gießen Sie Ihre Pflanzen? Ich kaufte einen Fünf-Gallonen-Krug Wasser, weil ich dachte, das Vormischen meines Düngers würde es mir ein wenig erleichtern, aber dann habe ich den Behälter geleert, bevor ich überhaupt mit dem Gießen fertig war 🥲 Das ständige Hin- und Herlaufen zum Waschbecken ist auch nervig

I use moving dolleys and totes. Fill the tote with about 75 litres and push it around with me. I can bottom water, top water and soak all with the same big tote

Painfully slowly, this time of year. It’s about a 4-hour project just to address the ones in the office (to be fair, there *are* 280 pots and the moss poles require drip watering…).
In the summer, they all live in my backyard and I spray them down with the hose, which is about a 20-minute endeavor. I have one of the fertilizer hose attachments so I just load it up with miracle gro and epsom salt and spray away.
Watering hose through my house:
1. I have an under sink 3M water filter (which goes to a tap at the sink). It’s a 3/8″ line.
2. I split the line with a shutoff, and ran vinyl tubing (50ft) with an airgun nozzle at the end..
3. The airgun nozzle is not meant to handle water (it is slowly rusting, but watertight), but the fine trigger control lets me water at drip pace or 10 liters/minute if I need to.
Watering 50 plants is not a big deal with this setup, and you could easily add this to any bathroom or kitchen.
For fertilizer, I have a squeeze bottle premixed at high concentration. Because I use bottom water pots only, I add fertilizer to the reservoir before I add water. The reservoirs are known volumes, so I can ballpark how much to add to each.

We have roughly 200 house plants, since they all have different watering needs we use 3 water purifiers, fill 1 gallon jugs and check plants daily, constantly filling said gallon dispensers with purified tap water. Only a few plants do we use distilled water.
