I didn’t even think a simple sponge could be so useful for plants! Now, don’t throw them away! | May 18, 2025

Today we want to show you three interesting ways to use old sponges for houseplants. Once you discover them, you’ll never throw them away again.

You will need:

–Sponges.

Procedure:

1. For  the first method of use , cut a sponge into small pieces.

2. Place them at the base of a pot and add soil on top. Then, plant the plant. The sponge will serve as a permanent source of liquid for its roots, so it will never dry out.

3.  The second benefit of sponges is saving liquid fertilizers . As far as you know, some of these solutions simply drain through the pot’s drainage holes. But having a shredded sponge at the base will absorb all the liquid and store it for the plant. It will take as much as it needs through the roots.
