Watering Your Potted Plants the Right Way
Horticulturist Mary Kay Pope shows you how to water your potted plants for maximum effectiveness and the way many folks do it incorrectly.
To water indoor plants one have to bring out to water.
Oh wow thank you so much from Hamilton Ontario Canada! I had NO IDEA!!!!!!!
Can't I do bottom watering so the plant drinks from the bottom to top? It seems like such a waste of water and soil nutrients escaping through the plant.
Very informative , this is helpful information 👍
Hi, I'm in round rock! I got a tree from home depot online a bare root multiple apple, it's not dead but having issues not putting out leaves, some little buds. It's in a self watering container and I spilled out the water from the reservoir because it stunk. Should I make sure it's emptying?
Thank you so much! 😢
This technique would prevent compact soil?
The technique is fill the reservoir again and again till drain to the hole?
Always It should be watering when the soil is completely dry?
Always in watering the plant should be wet?
One day i try to do this and all the water stay inside and kill all the roots of my plants! 😭😭😭😭
This mode of watering prevent compact soil?
My plant stay with a compact soil after i watering! I dont know why? 😭
if i watered my plants like that i'd probably end up killing them…
I been doing it all wrong 😱
we all have made mistakes and there is no one good among us(lie, cheat, steal,porn, lust) and just like a judge whether you believe in justice or not, has to judge the offender and so God will judge you but God made a way for you and me so that we could have life through Jesus Christ who died and payed for your sins(just like someone who pays your fine in a court) and so you can have life Joh 3:16-19 GW 16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. 18 Those who believe in him won't be condemned. But those who don't believe are already condemned because they don't believe in God's only Son. 19 This is why people are condemned: The light came into the world. Yet, people loved the dark rather than the light because their actions were evil. I Am not supporting religion, mormonism, catholicism, etc but about life when you read the bible you will find a huge difference between the bible and religion Please watch this video it will make more sense https://youtu.be/ChWiZ3iXWwM
thanks so much. very enlightening
This was very informative. I've been watering incorrectly my whole life!
Thank You so much I needed this advice.
Thank you! Great advice. Hopefully i will have some luck growing my seeds now.
We should watering when the soil is dry or before? 🙄
We live in CA ,can’t use a lot of water like that.do you have another way ? Thanks
Thought she was over watering but she is correct. In ground there is large amount of earth to hold water but in a pot there is only small amount so need to water frequently or saturate the soil in the pot.
THANK YOU!!! So all my life I've been doing it wrong. I always assumed, something so simple, just water it. But now I know how. Your video is awesome, clear and really, really helpful. Seeing you actually doing it real time and how long it takes and now I know to look for bubbles. You rock, Mary Kay!
Very helpful thank you Mary Kay
Don't worry about wasting water then.
don't you flush all the nutrients out of the plant that way?
Thank you!
thank you very much for dis informative video…
THXALOT LRNALOT..
I learned! Thanks so much.
What if the pot never stops bubbling no matter how much water you put in? I have a pot of geraniums and the pot just bubbles even though I've filled the top 5 or more times. It has a good lip of 2 inches. It's a big pot (about 15" across and 12" tall so 10" deep of soil) so I know it needs a ton of water but I tried this method this morning and it bubbled on top of the soil every time. Is it possible that something else is causing the bubbling? I think I filled it at least 7 times this morning and ran out of time before I had to work. I was thinking maybe the next time it needs water that I should soak it in a tub of water to rehydrate the soil, would that help?
Does the same watering technique apply to plants in ceramic pots with only one hole? I am worried that it wouldn't have the same drainage as a pot with multiple holes.
Thank you!! Very helpful!
Oooohhh your good!! Thank u for sharing!!
So how often do you water potted plants? Is it safe to assume that it depends and you water them as needed? based on just checking to see if they are drying out? or is it everyday?
Great video!!! Thank you so much.
Omg I love this woman she reminds me so much of my extremely practical mother who isn’t a fan of saying things twice ahahah
Mary Kay pope knows her stuff! My plants are so happy after her guidence. Keep up the great videos! A FAN!
