Watering Plants

Whether you tried the above point or not, you can still use a sponge for your plants. This time, you are using a sponge to assist with moisture control and watering. Put a sponge in a planter, cutting it to make sure it fits in the bottom. From there, fill the planter with soil then your plants.

The sponge works to soak up excess moisture, so you don’t drown your plant with too much water.

The same principle applies to the soap dish—believe it or not. You can put a sponge under a bar of soap to dry it faster. This keeps your soap from prematurely disintegrating, so you can get more bang for your buck.
