This one little change can solve several houseplant woes.
I was just minding my own business, scrolling through Instagram, when I came across a video of plant care tips that “everyone should know.” Naturally, I watched it to see if I was following said tips, and in addition to basic things like using pots with drainage holes and “quarantining” new plants to avoid bug infestations, one of the suggestions was to bottom-water your plants.. However, I don’t do it with any other plants.
Bottom-watering, sometimes called reverse watering, is when you place a plant in a bowl of water, allowing the soil and roots to soak water from the bottom up. People love to create—it’s super satisfying to watch the water level in the bowl go down as plants drink up the liquid. Why would you do it this way? Apparently there are quite a few benefits to watering your plants from the bottom instead of the top. It can help plants develop strong root systems, as they’ll grow downward toward the source of water, and reverse watering also ensures soil is saturated, as sometimes water runs right through the pot when you top-water. It’s also a great option for houseplants that don’t like having wet leaves, such as African violets and snake plants.
