The very top part of the soil is okay to disturb with watering if the plant is well established. The bulk of the roots are much deeper. I've seen people lay washed rocks on the soil surface, or hydroton, but this isn't really necessary.
foxysox Reviewed by foxysox on . How to water from the bottom up Ok this may seem like a stupid question, but how do you water your plants from the bottom up? I've read in several threads where people do it but no instruction on how to do it. I can only think of dunking your pot into a larger bucket filled with water, but this would completely soak your medium like you were flushing it. Then I thought maybe people are feeding tubes into their soil and doing it that way, but I can't see it working like that either. So please someone shed some light Rating: 5
