I found a trick for cactus and succulents. Your point that plants suffer from a lack of oxygen and not a lack of water also applies to these. You can feed a cactus a lot of water as long as it drains quickly again. So I water the cactus over a sink and then place the holed bottom on a towel to quickly leech the rest of the water out. Of course the soil needs to be sandy/gritty as well for this to work. But my cactus is totally happy and growing even faster now that there's lots of fresh water coming in (and leaving quickly again).

I save used dryer sheets to place in the bottom of the pot before adding the soil keeps it from coming out. I also throw in a handful of pebbles on top of the dryer sheet also helps from having too much water in the bottom and makes better drainage. So start saving your used dryer sheets as a good way to recycle! Thanks for all the great tips you give us because every bit of knowledge makes us better plant parents!

Great advice Richard. I place my plants up on milk or pop bottle caps in bottom of their saucers after there watering bath. I use three spaced evenly around the edge of the pot to allow a bit of air flow under the pot. Your mirror trick is brilliant! I use something similar on my rolling backers rack propagation station I set up using the shiny aluminum reflective Insulation bubble wrap all around it to make a light chamber with the grow lights rigged in it. It really speeds up the cutting props rooting up. 👍

I use a cheap cat litter tray for bottom-watering multiple plants. Cheaper than trays from garden centres. I also use it to mix soil when I need to re-pot a houseplant. Instead of using another saucer (which are oddly expensive where I am), I cut up a few little lengths of pool noodles and place them in the bottom of the decorative container for the plant container to sit on. I also like to use patches of window flyscreen to keep soil from falling out of pots with large drainage holes. I love using stools, stepping stools, and footstools as plant stands. I have a trailing plant that I keep on a dark wooden barstool that sits on a halltable. Looks rather nice. Thank you for a great video.

some of my 'tips': > when it comes to repotting, try to use as less soil as possible. i prefer to use humus or compost and even i use a small amount of them (as in less than 25% from my mix). to play it safe, i prefer humus with coarse bits on them > be creative with kitchen scraps (egg shells, discarded vegetables, even fish scales or bones). i often use the water i use to wash rice/pasta to water my plants > use mycorrhizae fungi to provide even more nutrition uptake and overall better plant health (trichoderma and glomus are a good starter) > underpotting is better than overpotting (this often depends on the kind of plants; my anthuriums and cacti love this, so far) > pay attention to ph: more organic content in soil, less ph count; more mineral content in soil, more ph count (this may require more research tho)

Getting stabbed by your cacti is all apart of owning and caring for them, nearly impossible to 100% not to. One excellent way I've found in minimizing this potentially painful experience is to roll up a couple of sheets of newspaper( or the like) and loop it around the cactus and lift it up. The salad tong might work well as long as it's a dedicated plant tool, you'll be hating life if you get those needles in your mouth!

Here is another solution to the dirt flowing out of drainage holes: window screening. You can get a small length at hardware stores. Either the flexible or stiff versions work well, cut into square just a cm or two (or 1/2 to 1 inch) bigger than hole. That way if you are not in the habit of having terracotta or just don't break a lot of porcelain pieces, you have something on hand. Another solution to plants sitting in water in decorative pots, some small sized gravel or similar. The water drains, keeps from bottom of plant pot and can be added in different amounts. Cheers!

I use the little platform inside the pot for a while now. It's really useful. One downside however is that it starts to mold underneath the cup,lid (or whatever you put in there) after a few months. Not because there is water standing inside all the time, because I remove it. But because of the moisture and humidity building up underneath. Have to put in a new platform every other month. But I have many left over things anyway I can use.

Thank you for finally including an answer to a question I've been facing for a while - do Mirrors help at all with plants? I just got a glass vitrine for most of mine plants and it happened to have a mirror in the back, unfortunately also blocking out light they used to get from a north facing window. I've tried to find out if the light from mirrors help at all but i turned up with nothing. They still get a lot of light from other directions, I was just afraid they might miss the additional light from the north window though.

I sometimes put something in the bottom of the pot to raise the plant up, if the nursery pot is a bit smaller, so that the rim of the nursery pot is at the rim of the decorative pot and not 5cm below. I think your saucer is a little big and doesn´t leaf a lot of space for the water though. I like to use small plastic lids, or containers or leca or even rocks if I want the planter to be heavier so my toddler doesn´t tip it over :D Leca and rocks of course also reduce the space for water, and make it harder to empty out, so just good for the last few drops. This way you can also make a self-watering pot, just put a wick in the nursery pot and use the space in the bottom as water reservoir.

These tips were great - thank you! Like you, take my plant to the water instead of watering direct. I either stand them in the bath or in shallow plastic storage containers so I can keep an eye on them and remove them when they've had enough. It's a good way for me to check and feed them at the same time. Then I stand them on large wire cooling racks (for baking) to drain for a bit before I put them back in their pots. I also put a raise in the bottom of my cover pots but mainly because I like the plant to be higher up in the pot (but not sticking up over the rim). I use cut down plastic containers such as hummus pots to make them the right height as I find plant saucers are often too wide. Plastic milk bottle tops work well for my small pots. AND I also use the same IKEA stools (great minds)! Your calathea looks amazing btw. I have one but it's quite new so much smaller. The undersides of the leaves are gorgeous.

A good middle-of-the-road solution to stop soil from washing out the drainage holes is to use a piece of anti-mosquito netting. Reliably stops erosion while letting water flow more freely than a coffee filter would. The only downside is that plants with thin roots can get a bit of their roots tangled in the netting as they reach repot time.

Here in France, milk is most commonly sold in a sort of paper container. We do not have big jugs like you do in English countries. But now I think I will buy a real water dispenser(?) to do bottom wattering, that long neck one in the video is very convenient.

U can put that terra cotta or rocks or stones in the bottom in the bottom or or catch pot to just raise the inside pot enough to keep it out of the water can also increase humidity & possibly be self watering
