I've noticed that, when some of my plants are on their saucers, they stay soggy/get root issues. It seems like the saucers are preventing air from reaching the bottom of the pots. Does anyone else have this problem? Have y'all found good solutions?

I notice the same thing! When I water my plants, I let them sit on a paper towel to try to eliminate the extra water coming from the bottom so the saucers aren’t too soggy/ moist.

If you up air circulation in the area it won't be as much of a problem. Otherwise water them in a separate saucer and the move them back to their place

Some saucers have ridges that elevate the pot a little, or you can put pebbles in the saucer

Thanks everyone! .... I will probably do all of these 😅
