Actually yes you are suppose to I guess over-water your plant as for flushing but after you flush (if you dont have holes at the bottom of your pot) your suppose to tie your plant so the main stem doesnt break or what ever. And tilt your pot over to pour the extra water out. Somethin like that. I cant explain for you to understand but I already have the whole concept down so I know how to do it when I need to lol.
