I noticed the video said calatheas don’t like getting their leaves wet however these plants thrive with humidity. I mist all of my calatheas daily and they love to stay damp, they are thriving!
Thank you so much for this. I just started bottom watering my plants. I have so far used this method with my orchid, Hoya Hindu Rope, and Thanksgiving & Christmas Cactus. All are in 4” pots. I find it takes an hour plus before I feel any moisture in the top layer of soil (especially in terracotta and/or with orchid bark). Is this normal?
So glad you're enjoying our videos! Don't fret! Different plants (and different growing mediums) take different amounts of time to suck up the water they need. As long as you don't leave them sitting in water for days on end they'll be fine!
My plants don’t take 10mints to soak up the water till the top soil becomes moist. It almost takes an hour to soak up water and till the top soil is moist. For me it doesn’t depend on the size of the pot. 2 inch-10inch pots are taking almost an hour to become top soil moist. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Where am I going wrong? Do I need to wait till the top soil become moist and then take them out of water or come what May I should pull them out of water after 10-15nints?? Please help
I have been bottom watering my plants for 4 months. I find that after 5 days, my plants are bone dry. Should I bottom my plants until the water reaches the top?
Watering conditions change depending on the season too, if its hot out they will dry out more quickly! But we find its best to leave your plants soaking, or bottom watering for up to an hour so they can really take up all the water they need.
@Plants in a Box I find alot pf my plants will not soak up to the top and it will get completely soaked far more than it needs. It will just keep on soaking the same dirt as opposed to moving yo the pot... Any advice would be amazing
@@surajgaikwad8092 you can leave a little bit of water in the base less than an inch of water, and that will be fine for a week. Just don't leave a lot of water in the base otherwise you will get root rot.
finally a video that isn't an hour long explaining this. thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
yep - short and sweet otherwise we get dis-interested and close off.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection

Just feel the weight you will notice it begins to feel a lot heavier - top water once a month for dusting the leaves 🍃

can bottom watering appy to all i door plants?
Howcome alot of times it will only soak up like an inch or 2 and it completely saturates it. Far too wet. Alot of my plants this happens
Thank you, I don’t lady what’s your name but you saved my peperomia’s
You're so welcome! My name is Ella, I'm glad your peperomias loved their new bottom up watering routine
How do you know if the plant had enough water? How long do you let it sit in the water for?
You are only adding a very small amount of water so the plant takes only what it needs approx 1inch of water.
Dear mam
For indoor plants like peace lily is it possible to do every day watering from bottom for once a week

It is not seen until what level of the pot water is put.😢
Though the video wasn’t hour long, but not thorough either
Leave plants 10 minutes, thank you
