The water gathers until no air space is left. Once all the available soil air space fills up, then excess water drains into the gravel below. So gravel in the bottom does little to keep soil above it from being saturated by overwatering. Damp gravel placed in a saucer underneath the pot may help by increasing the humidity in the immediate area of the plants as the water evaporates from the gravel surfaces. Self-watering pots use various methods to effectively draw water from a bottom reservoir into the soil without causing the soil to become too wet.
Water may be drawn up into the soil by capillary action or wicking through small soil columns, rope wicks, or the use of moisture sensors. Self-watering containers are especially useful for weekend cottages and people who do not have time to check water needs daily. Consistently available water is great for vegetables, and tropical houseplants.

After the pot finishes draining, replace the wrapper. Main Arena Chinese. Main Brainiacs. Attack classes Defend classes Support classes Spawnable Zombies. Wiki Topics. Founders Vectorgreg Wckd. DreamyImpy GloweySpecs. ARandomChinese Mr slav Redtarp.
