Help!!‼️🚨please

Hello, so I just got the snake plant and he just got water and liquid fertilizer but when watering I realized it took him a while to drink and did not come out of the holes in the pot! What do I do???? And he did not really take In the water and also I don’t know if this helps but he’s in a nursery pot right now

How do I bottom water some hold it upside down and water the bottom

LOL!!! Close 😂 You put your pot in another container and then fill that up until the water is about 1/3-1/2 up the side of your plants pot. Then let it sit until it’s absorbed as much as it needs. Take it out and let all the excess water drain away.
