Hello! I noticed when I water my plants it doesn’t drain. Am I not watering it enough? If it’s possible that the soil is too compact would it be ok to take them out of the pot n loosen the soil n repot them? Or is there a better way of doing that?

    does ur soil have drainage? like perlite etc. also when you water do you bottom water or like soak it from the top. because i soak mine and let it sit for a few hours before draining.. you can loosed the soil if its really compact

    my guess is your soil is just packed too tightly, maybe just empty the pot and refill/repot your plant and just be sure not to press down any of the soil and water lightly when finished

    No I’m using just soil. Thanks for the suggestions I’ll repot them n add some perlite to the mix. I usually water from the top
