IKEA plant parenting hack here😎

This $5 shoe rack and $5 accompanying tray is the best low cost, low mess apparatus I’ve found for the soak part of the “soak \& dry” method for watering cacti/succulents!! it’s huge \& the tray catches all of the drippage from the grated rack. the setup is also great for letting the excess water drip out from bottom watering your houseplants! hope this comes in handy!🌿♥️
