for anything with fuzzy leaves bottom watering is a must 😊

That’s about all I recommend for exclusive bottom watering. If you do choose to bottom water others, it’s important to remember to top water every once in a while to flush out any fertilizer or mineral build up in the substrate

You can bottom water any plant. You can’t leave most in water too long or you end up with root rot.

About how long?

#### Sunny respondió el 2024-07-25

I leave it in water until I feel or see moisture on the top soil. Then, I remove the bottom watering tray/container to let the excess water drain. The time it takes for the water to saturate the potting mix depends on the mix ingredients and the size of the pot.

Usually anywhere from 10 min to 45 min?
