If you water your potted plants like this, then you may be causing more harm than good. Containers are a great way to grow crops if you're renting or only have limited space, but be careful when you're watering your pots from the top. Although the soil may seem saturated, dig a little bit deeper and it can often be bone dry. So instead, try filling up a large tray or container with water and place your plants straight in. The soil will absorb up the water through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot, helping to give your plant an even drink all the way throughout. For larger containers, bury a smaller pot in the middle and water directly into this. This will get the water straight to the roots. Thank you for watching!
