Howdy mistersmokealot,

It looks like you don't have any drain pans under your pots..you should git some,you can find them at wal-mart and nurseries,they are usually clear plastic and come in sizes to fit under different sized pots. When ya go to water your plants,you need to thoroughly water them,I used to take my plants to the bathtub and give em enough water to flow out the drain holes on the bottom,until the wtaer flows to the drain. Just leave them in there until they stop draing for the most part,but be sure to have your water catchers under them,because they may keep on draing a little bit more, then empty out any standing water,as it's not good to have the pot sitting in water.

If you just water them only enough to git the top soil wet,the roots will go up to git the water..what you want,is to water them thoroughly to the bottom,in order to encourage the roots to go down-instead of up.

Have a good one...Torog
