I use both. I bottom water almost all my plants that are in soil. but I do top water them all once a month or so to flush them. Since I started bottom watering I have no gnats, which was my main goal in switching.

I learned about bottom watering recently but didn't know about that slower method of top watering! It makes so much sense.

Another reason to not dump all at once when top-flowering, is that the water doesn't go down uniformly, but tends to make a few "rivers", leaving much of the soil still dry. If the soil drains very well (hope well, depends on the plant), I simply put the pot in a bigger container, and fill in the bigger container until the water level is clearly set. When I'm in a hurry, I do both.

Hey Kat, loved the info keep it up. Especially the distilled water part is a new one for me. Would be great to see a video on that topic. Also please make a video on how to select pots if possible, including the legged vs the flat bottom ones. Benefits of terracotta and how to manage the mold on it, etc. Chao!

I definitely love bottom watering when I do it and I hate that I have run off problems with lots of my smaller plants from top watering but I just don’t have the space to do lots of bottom watering which is so annoying 😭😭 the cache pot is def a good solution since I already have those or just focusing on bottom watering for those little plants with a small saucer
@GoodandPlanty
@GoodandPlanty 3 года назад

I bring all of my plants (3 😅) to the shower, plug it and absolutely water board them until they are over flowing and then let them sit in the water for 15-20 minutes to make sure they’ve soaked up everything they need. I’ve seen and heard multiple examples of top watering just flowing the way of least resistance through the soil (gravity) and it doesn’t get all of the soil wet unless you basically try to drown your plant. Where as bottom watering you let the plant soak up the water it needs and it’ll stop once every bit of soil is saturated. So I do both just to be sure that it’s gotten as much water as it can possibly absorb and I’ve never had an issue. Since it is so wet as well when I’m done I’ll have a fan blowing on them for a few hours just to speed up the drying process so they are developing root rot even though they are in terracotta.

Txs for the tips! I have clay (terracotta) pots with one draining hole at the bottom’s center. I had put a layer of pebbles (2 to 4 cm) before adding in soil when repotting. Is this compatible with bottom watering? I guess I’ll need to soak the pots deep in water so that it reaches to the roots?

I just moved a small plant in a bigger pot but since the dirt is new and fresh, do you recommend bottom watering it first? So it can soak up what it needs? I’ve tried water it on top, but the dirt won’t let it go down unless I poke a few holes lol I hope my question makes sense. Thanks for all the tips!
@GoodandPlanty
@GoodandPlanty 3 года назад
hi! i would say top watering is best for a freshly potted plant (in my opinion, at least). if the water isn't going through the soil smoothly, you may want to add more amendments like perlite or pumice to the soil. it sounds like the soil might be a little dense. hope this helps!

For top watering, how do you dump out the water trap for larger plants/trees? I just bought a bird of paradise and I'm trying to figure out how to water it well without having to pick it up and move it.

@stephaniesalcido4284 3 года назад
Are you sure it is mold? Because if you use tap water it could also mostly likely just be the mineral deposits leaching through. If it is mold, try wiping the outside with hydrogen peroxide and keeping in bright light.

@EpiphanyX5323
@EpiphanyX5323 3 года назад
Am I the only one that uses chopsticks to poke up into the soil from the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot? Or maybe I'm just a weirdo. lol! I do poke the top, but sometimes with new plants the soil is so compacted that I am afraid to damage the plant by poking too near the plant. I noticed the same thing with my peperomias when watering from the top! Unfortunately, I can't bottom water them at the moment since they are still in their original nursery pots with soil that seems to be a heavily peat-based mix; it retains way too much water. I learned that the hard way by killing my watermelon peperomia (which I did bottom water). Oops! 🤣
