That makes me so happy to hear! 💛

Thank you! I just recently got my first plant at work and I have been trying to care for it but the lower leaves kept browning and I couldn't figure out why- but this explained so much! Time to get a new pot vs whatever the one it came in!

[@tenneyplants]

So glad it helped you out! Hope that new pot helps!

Great video! Can I use a watering can as a planter, using the spout as the drainage hole?

[@tenneyplants]

That’d be so cute! It’s best to have the drainage holes be at the base of the container so I’d recommend poking holes in the base of your watering can or putting it in a pot with drainage holes and then into the watering can so it can still drain.

So you put the drainage hole on top of a couple of books? 🤷‍♂️ I would nog like to have water on my furniture either Could I just 3D print a double bottom for the same effect?

[@charliebates7177]

I have a question about hanging pots. If they have drainage holes, how do you stop the water running through the bottom if you can’t put a saucer on the bottom of them am I watering them too much?

[@tenneyplants]

Oo that's tricky! If you aren't able to put a saucer beneath them, it might be best to take them down and water them in your sink or tub where they can drain freely without making a mess and hang them back up once they've stopped dripping.

[@lavvy2585]

Right after watching a video saying you don't need drainage holes, just watch how much you water you plants. Sigh!

[@tenneyplants]

Just depends on the person's preference I guess! I just like to lessen my risk of overwatering my plant and killing it, haha!
