She puts a used diaper into the flower planter and the end results are remarkable!

An interesting gardening idea: instead of crystals, use diapers on the bottom of your pots to help retain the moisture. This is an unorthodox but very effective solution and it’s also more affordable than using commercial gardening products.

Placing a diaper on the bottom of a pot will retain moisture, which is an excellent solution for making the plants fresh and strong. The diapers will help the pots stay moist, especially during the summer.

The diapers basically act the same as commercial water hydrating crystals, but they are more affordable. Diapers contain water-absorbing polymer crystals that absorb water and expand when wet. If you put a diaper inside the pot, the polymers will absorb the water when you water the plant and become a reservoir for the plant when it’s dry. This will effectively keep your plant moist.
