Watering Hanging Plants

Tired of getting everything all wet when you water indoor hanging plants? Today you'll learn how to prevent an indoor flood... with an upside-down trick to catch water and mud! From deep within the Carey Brothers vault of ?what goes up?doesn't have to come down?, we unfurl this clever solution! Indeed, says here: to prevent getting floors and carpets wet when you water indoor hanging plants, just grab an old umbrella or buy a cheap one at a discount store. Open it up (ignoring that musty old superstition about doing so indoors), turn it over, and hang it upside down right under the pot you're about to water. Then, give it a soak, let it drain, and after a while, move it to the next one! When you're done, empty it outside and rinse it with a hose if you wish. Once it dries, fold and store it for next time. Umbrellas aren't just for outside and raindrops anymore!
