Watering Wednesday! Do you usually water from the top of the soil, or practice bottom watering?

    Both! I water in dish pans, let ‘em sit & absorb for a while, then drain, then return to home base. 🫡

    Almost strictly bottom watering. The only exceptions are if I’m trying to root something at the top of the soil or I feel like it’s “too” dry at the top.

    Both depends on the plant honestly for my orchids. Definitely bottom watering because they are divas.

    Would you recommend bottom watering for a calathea?

      Bottom watering is a great option for calatheas!

    During winter or when a lot of plants need watering I bottom water. During the spring and summer I water from the top
