Summer is here! Love the days we can be out spending our days at the park with friends or preparing for our summer vacation; but we're not the only ones basking in the sun! The longer days and intense heat means your plants babies need more water. Here's how you can keep your plant babies happy and hydrated through the summer while you're out living life and enjoying yours!

1. Vacation-proof your plants

The thing that used to keep me up before any summer trip is "how do I leave my plants without coming home to a crispy disaster?"

Here's the secret: set up a watering system before you leave, move plants away from harsh direct sunlight, and give them a good drink (but don't drown them). With a reliable self-watering setup, you can actually enjoy your holiday instead of texting your friends daily asking them to check on your monstera.

Coming home to thriving plants instead of plant casualties? That's the kind of summer glow-up we're all here for.

2. Choose your plant saver

This is the big one. I used to rely on those basic watering bulbs from Instagram, but they kept either flooding my plants or getting clogged with dirt (so much cleaning!).

Then I discovered watering bulbs with terracotta tips, and it's been a total game-changer. The porous terracotta releases water super slowly and steadily – basically like your plant is sipping exactly what it needs. No more guessing, no more plant casualties, and definitely no more cleaning out tiny tubes with cotton swabs.

(And they still look pretty in my pots!)

These Bumi Bulbs last for 7 full days when filled to the brim, and are the easiest and most reliable set and forget solution to self-watering that I've found! If you pick up the 4 piece bundle right now you get a 10% summer discount!

3. Keep things simple

Don't get me wrong, I love a good #PlantTok guide, but if you're a beginning plant parent, then scrolling through endless conflicting advice can make you second-guess everything. Instead of getting lost in the content rabbit hole, keep things simple: choose plants with straightforward needs and pair them with reliable tools that do the work for you.

The trick is finding systems that come with clear, bite-sized instructions so you're never left wondering "wait, what was I supposed to do again?" Trust me, your future stressed-out self will thank you.

Happy plant parents
