Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Sick houseplant? Make it a healthy cocktail. Try pouring a little carbonated water instead of regular tap water when watering unhealthy plants. The reason? The bubbly water has macronutrients, which include carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur and sodium. These are all vital nutrients that plants absorb quickly through water, allowing them to heal themselves -- and even grow at a faster rate. Even if you just have a little leftover club soda, give it to your plants, and say "cheers!"
