'Tired of killing your houseplants? Hook your plants up to a miniature IV drip. Just fill it with water and it'll take care of the rest,' the description read.

'We've lost count of the number of plants we've accidentally sacrificed over the years. Not enough water, too much water - we'd like to claim it's the plants being picky but we know we're wholly responsible for their pathetic demise.'

The 350ml IV bag works well for plants in small pots, hanging pots or standing pots. 

New Zealand homeware store Mighty Ape said it has since sold out of the plant-watering IV drip but confirmed it's expected to restock the item from May 1.
