I’ve mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don’t have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!
Kratky is great! Remember not to fill it too much after they’ve used up the nutes so you don’t drown the plants.
Is there a certain pot depth you’d recommend? I imagine part of the reason is to prevent excess water wicking into the substrate in the pot, but would be concerned somewhat about accidentally air pruning roots in a gap.
2/3 of the container height is generally a good ballpark. You can also check where the air roots start and just stick to height lower than that.
