I need to plant a large indoor plant is a planter without drainage. What can I do to prevent overwatering, i.e, too much water collecting in the bottom?

Certified ExpertA.The best thing to do is put your plant inside a plastic pot with drainage holes that fits inside the planter. When it's time to water, remove the inside container, water, let it drain, then return it to the planter.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, this depends on the exact plants that you would like to grow! Many plants will have different care, so knowing the types will be very important.
What I can do, for now, is to offer some articles on general houseplant care. These will help:

Certified ExpertA.This all sounds like overwatering, unfortunately! I would wait until the soil is, completely, dry down to about 1/3 of the way into the container between each watering. Fungus gnats do not like to be outside of the soil area, and are a sign of serious fungal infection, as this is what they consume.
Fungicides and changing soil and watering habits will correct the issue:

Measuring with a meter will be the best way to be completely sure of how much water the soil is saturated with:

20886Q.Indoor Plants Turning Yellow
What must be done to stop it?
- Answered by
BushDoctor on
July 8, 2022
Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that cause this, and many of them depend on the specific plant in question.
Generally, under/overwatering, underfeeding, too little or too much light (depending on the type of plant), too little or too much water, pests, and many other factors can cause this.
Unfortunately, without pictures or knowing the exact plants in question, I can not be of much assistance, here.

44236Q.How To Grow Veggies Inside During The Winter
I have access to a grow tent and lights but what should I consider in setting this up. Obviously it will be easy to do lettuce, but what about tomatoes?

Certified ExpertA.As long as you have a good 200 to 400 TRUE watts of light, you can grow tomatoes in a 4'x4' area, no problem. I do tomatoes and pepper all year long indoors, myself!

September 12, 2022Q.I Have Research Enquiries That Will Help Me Design An Indoor Gardening Unit.
I am a student at Ilford County, currently in Year 11 doing my GCSE DT NEA course. I have decided to make an indoor gardening unit for my project to help with overwatering and plant conservation. I believe that your expert input in the design process of my product would be vitally helpful and I would be very grateful if you can take some of your valuable time to answer some of my questions. My first question is concerning the most common houseplant in the UK. In order to design an indoor gardening unit, I'd like to know the most common houseplants to work out the required dimensions. My second question is, in your experience, what is the best material to design a product that can both house plants and store equipment? Would 2 different materials be necessary? My final question is concerning your client base. What is the average age group of your customer base? Thank you for taking your time reading my enquiries and I am eagerly awaiting your response.
