I’m a gardening expert…there’s a 15-minute trick which will keep your houseplants happy and it’s really easy
HOUSE plants have become all the rage as of recent, with every corner now a house for large Monstera Deliciosa and adorable miniature cacti.
But whilst the green tenants bring multiple benefits to your house, they can also be tricky to look after.
To give keen plant owners a helping hand in the confusing journey of ''How much water to use?'', the gardening guru, Daisy Payne, shared her top recommendations, reported the Express.
''I love houseplants!'' said Daisy, who regularly appears on This Morning.
''If you’re working at home right now, make sure you’ve got some lovely house plants in the room with you while you're on video calls galore.''
This, she explained, is because plants have been proven to improve one's mood and help with stress levels.

An avid gardener and plant expert, Daisy revealed that watering her green friends is part of her weekly routine.
But instead of using a can to hydrate each individual plant, she lets them soak in the sink.
''I pop them in the sink and gently run the tap so that they’re soaked through and then able to drain off in the sink.
''After about 15 minutes or so, I then pop the plants back in their pots.''

Doing so, she claimed, won't leave the roots soggy and over drenched in water, as the liquid will dry off ''nicely''.
For bigger plants that can't fit under the small tap, simply pop them in your shower or bath and use the same technique as with the sink method.
