How Drainage Works in Pots, The Perched Water Table & a "Drainge Hack" that Doesn't work!

Today I share the my most favorite  takeaways from my Soil Science 101 course with the New York Botanical Garden. I did a presentation in class on drainage for houseplants, and turned it into a video for you! Learn alongside me with several experiments and my musings on drainage and I'll show you my strategies for potting my houseplants up!

Check out the companion podcast where I interview my Soil Science Teacher (it's SO nerdy and fun!) on Episode 95 of the Bloom and Grow Radio Podcast:
