Q. I have a problem with the drilled
holes in the bottoms of the containers.
Water drains through them and ruins the
flooring underneath. Or if I have one on
a piece of wooden furniture it would ruin
the furniture. How can I get around this?
A. First you really do need the hole or holes drilled into the bottom of the pot or you run the risk of root rot
as when you do not even know it there can be a small layer of water at the very bottom of the pot on the inside and the roots which are there will not have any oxygen to live. Yes
just like animals plants need oxygen! The air pockets in the soil mix will fill with water and it is the same thing as drowning. Roots turn to mush
bacteria sets in and the roots can no longer do their job of supplying foliage with water to grow hence leaves wilt
drop and the plant dies. All this can happen within a couple days. For floor drainage use the short metal or plastic stands with wheels on them. Some models have a large hole to hold a drainage reservoir which you empty as needed. No water drops down onto the floor if it does not overflow.
To avoid damage to your wooden furniture
use plastic saucers with a raised metal
trivet underneath them. The plastic
will not allow water seepage as clay or
ceramic does the metal will not allow any
water to build up below the saucer and the
trivet aspect will provide space for air
circulation. You will not have damage from
water droplets or rings from any saucer
with this method.
