Water Your Plants For Success

​Bottom watering, butt chugging, or reverse watering. It simply means sitting your plant in water and allowing it to soak up what it needs.

There are many benefits to this:

1. Prevents gnats because the top layer of your soil is not wet (assuming you did not let your plant sit too long).
2. Creates strong roots as the roots are always going to be reaching towards the wet soil.
3. Helps prevent overwatering.

​When bottom watering your plants, one thing to consider is that your plant or the pot that the plant is in has drainage holes - this allows the ability to soak up the water.


Allow your plant to sit for 15-20 minutes as the goal is not for all of the soil of your plant to be saturated. You want the top to remain dry.
