If your home feels a little dry, chances are your houseplants—plants grown inside the house—are feeling it too. Most popular plants come from tropical environments where high humidity is the standard. When that moisture disappears, leaves can start crisping, curling or just losing their usual glow. Thankfully, you don’t need a full rain forest to keep your tropical indoor plants thriving. Simple hacks, like adding a pebble tray and humidifier, can bring back that humid air your houseplants crave.

Top watering might be the most common watering method you see online, but it’s not always the most effective. Using a watering can from above can splash water onto leaves, causing wet leaves and potential mildew. Top watering can also cause water pooling and wet leaves, which may lead to rot and disease. What if there was a way to water your plants that delivers water exactly to the roots?

Instead of soaking the surface of the soil and hoping it spreads evenly, bottom watering plants—also known as reverse watering—is an essential method for proper hydration and soil flushing. By allowing indoor plants to absorb water from the base of the pots, roots can pull exactly what they need and leave excess water behind. Bottom watering keeps foliage dry, reducing the risk of mildew and diseases, and is especially useful when you need to water many plants at once.
