Should I water my plants from the bottom or top?
There are several schools of thought on this question. Here's our take: Although it might seem easier to water from the top, watering plants from the bottom makes for healthier roots and a better long-term outcome (especially when you're new at this). Fill the saucers of your pots with rocks, then place the pot on top. This allows for plenty of oxygen near the roots, ensuring they stay healthy while also keeping them out of standing water.
