So to bottom water you just grab a Tupperware and fill with water and put ur plants in? How does it not get root rot?? #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-11에 답변했습니다. I let the plants sit in the water for 30 minutes to an hour. bottom watering allows the plants root system to take up as much water as it needs. Capillary action is what the roots use to draw the water up. #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-11에 답변했습니다. it takes away the guesswork of wondering how much water my plants need. similar to a self watering pot, just a temporary version. ### Oksana 🥎🍦🌱님이 2025-05-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Oh ok thanks! Might try that. I thought you left it in the water and never take it out. 😅 #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-11에 답변했습니다. oh no! That would definitely lead to rot or some sort of fungal infection without proper semi-hydro substrate. ### Lexy님이 2025-05-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. Can you bottom water everything? May be a silly question! #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-12에 답변했습니다. I certainly do! Unless I’ve freshly repotted something or the soil is really really dry (both cases I too water into a resovoir and then let the plants sit bottom water with the water that drained) and of course I’m not an expert but I find it easier than top watering. plus i’ve had a fungus gnat problem and bottom watering keeps the topsoil dry! ### Lexy님이 2025-05-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Is there a reason if you just repotted something why you don't? #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-15에 답변했습니다. I usually top water if something’s just been repotted because it’s a faster way to make sure that soil gets drenched. fresh soil doesn’t have any moisture in it. whereas soil that’s been watered before is already used to being wet ### Lexy님이 2025-05-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also, do you bottom water succulents? That is if you have any #### n4tgeeo님이 2025-05-15에 답변했습니다. I only have some succulent cuttings that are rooting on top of soil right now but I do also bottom water those! ### Lexy님이 2025-05-16에 댓글을 남겼어요.
