Watering Houseplants Part 3: Watering From Below

via Mr Brown Thumb on 1969-12-31, 19:00:00

One of the biggest disservices that I do my houseplants is watering them from below. Even though I know better sometimes I can't resist the urge to fill the sink or a large container with water and setting the plants in the water to get a drink. Watering houseplants from below is a time saver if you have a lot of plants to deal with but you should avoid it when possible. . . .
