For those of us that have a few of the bigger plants in those 8in, 10in, 12in+ pots, we know when we water them and let the water run through that they hold alot of water and seem to drip for forever. Sometimes I have to empty the drip tray 2 or 3 times so that they arenât just sitting in water. Well after watering, Iâve started doing my drip trays this way, 1. Because the tray holds more water that way and 2. Because itâs easier to get the tray full of water picked up if youâre also not lifting a now fully watered heavy plant lol. Whenever it does stop dripping I put the tray back under the plant otherwise my dog thinks itâs another water bowl lol
