Supplies required: diced sponges Cost to Make: $5.19 per six-pack* As gardeners, we're constantly searching for ways to maintain the health and moisture levels of our plants—but not too much, since water that collects at the bottom of pots will lead to root rot.

For healthy plant hydration, use Sponges @smlantern50 or Pinterest. These sponges will hold on to moisture while allowing for air circulation. Additionally, the sponges will stop water from washing the pot's bottom. By acting as water reserves, the chopped sponges keep the soil moist for an extended period of time without posing a risk to the plant's roots. On Amazon, a six-pack of Scotch Brite Sponges costs just $5.19.
