# Anyone else constantly check their plants drainage holes for roots…

Anyone else constantly check their plants drainage holes for roots trying to poke out so you can pop them back in before they’re too long? I know my plants aren’t root bound because most of them have clear pots, yet I still catch the roots sticking out the bottom 🤣 stay in your pot!!

My longest run away root is almost 3 feet! It made itself semi hydro 2 years ago because the outer pot has no drainage holes. I’m too embarrassed to post a picture. 🤪
