Bottom watering a snake plant typically involves placing the pot in a shallow tray or basin filled with water and allowing the soil to absorb moisture from the bottom up.). You can leave the pot in the water for about 20-30 minutes, or until the top of the soil feels moist. Be careful not to let the plant sit in water for too long to avoid waterlogging the soil, which can lead to root rot.
Method: To bottom water, place the pot in a tray or basin filled with water. Make sure the water level is below the top rim of the pot. Allow the soil to soak up water from the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
Frequency: Bottom watering can be done every 1-2 weeks, depending on factors like the plant’s size, environment, and season.). Snake plants prefer to dry out between waterings, so avoid overwatering.
Duration: Let the pot sit in the water for about 20-30 minutes or until you see moisture on the surface of the soil. This allows the roots to absorb water efficiently.
Checking Moisture: After the allotted time, check the top inch of the soil. If it feels moist, remove the pot from the water and allow any excess to drain. If the soil still feels dry, you can leave it in the water for a bit longer.
Precautions: Avoid leaving the pot in water for too long, as this can lead to waterlogged soil and root rot. Additionally, ensure that the pot has proper drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.).
By bottom watering your snake plant, you encourage healthy root growth and prevent issues associated with overwatering.).
