This is what I do for most of my indoor plants. It’s easy to tell if they are too dry because the leaves start drooping, but as soon as you water they’ll bounce right back. I find this method keeps them from needing to be watered nearly as often. Once or twice a month at most.

This time I will follow the same method as you did in this video. Thank you

You are correct they have studies this at universities and putting rocks or broken pots at the bottom is a bad idea. The best way is to plant within the pot inside another plastic pot, making the one without a drainage hole into a "cache pot".

@WestCoastGardens

It could be over watering - or perhaps the pot is too large. If the pot is too large, then the soil stays wet too long and the roots can suffer. However, repotting can be traumatic for some plants as well.

@randomcommentor5474
Жыл бұрын
Basically the difference in materials (the gravel and the potting soil) causes water to sit right at the border of the two (this is called the perched water table), instead of draining into the "drainage layer"(gravel in this instance) at bottom of the pot. The best method is to use a small plastic pot inside of the decorative one, and take it out to water it, then place in back into its decorative pot.
