A mum has gone viral after sharing a hilarious hack to bringing her plants “back to life”.

Lisa Harvey, from Surrey, was getting fed up with her outdoor greenery constantly dying and wanted to find a cheap and easy way to prevent it from happening.

After a quick brainstorm, the 45-year-old mum decided that the best way to keep her plants looking fresh was not to use water or plant medicine, but to simply cover up the problem: with spray paint.

Lisa covered her two dying plant babies with some green paint and to her surprise, it worked wonders.

She instantly shared the hack online, racking up more than 10,000 likes on her post so far.

“I came with the idea as I’m not very good at keeping plants alive,” Lisa, who is a personal assistant for children with special needs, told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk .

“I have fake plants and flowers but these were the only two real ones in my back garden and they are both dead so it saves trying to get the plants out of the pot.

“I decided to get some spray paint and see if it works.

“My husband thought I was mad but it’s so quick as well, it didn’t take me long, plus I have some of the paint left in the can.

“It has also saved me money as the paint was just over £4, and it would cost me more to buy two new plants.”

After sharing her hack online, the mum was flooded with comments praising her smart idea.

Sinead Matthews said: “What an idea haha I need this for my grass where my dogs ruined it.” [sic]

Amanda Reed said: “I’m so happy, I’m gonna try it on mine.”

Emma Greer added: “Omg feckin fantastic this has made my night lol.” [sic]

Ellie Smith said: “You know what I’m doing at the weekend, just need about 10 cans and I’m sorted.”

Gemma Leigh wrote: “Dare you to post this in a gardening group.”

Michelle Salmon commented: “This is what I have to do, never kept a single plant alive in my life.”

Deb Johns said: “Bloody brilliant, piddled me pants, bloody genius.” [sic]

Lisa has been left blown away by the response to her post.

She added: “I didn’t think it would go viral, I just thought that I’d get a few likes and comments but nothing like this.

“All the comments saying it’s a genius idea are funny.

“So many people must be like me and end up killing their plants so glad I’m not the only one.”
