Gardening Expert Reveals Surprising Mistake Many Make When Watering Potted Plants
Gardening enthusiasts often face challenges with potted plants, particularly ensuring adequate hydration. A recent viral video highlights a common oversight: despite regular watering, the roots of potted plants can remain bone dry in the center. The video's creator, a gardener, demonstrated this by intentionally breaking a terracotta pot to expose the root ball, revealing a dry core while the outer layers appeared moist. He further illustrated the issue by cutting the plant's root ball in half, showing how water tends to run down the sides of the pot, bypassing the central root system. To combat this, the gardener advises a simple yet effective technique: fill the pot with water at the base of the plant until it overflows. This method ensures the entire root system is thoroughly saturated, promoting healthier plant growth. This practical tip could help many gardeners avoid common watering pitfalls.
