Water collecting at bottom of pot - do I have to get it out?
Hello. I use one of those standard transparent plastic orchid pots with some cuts on the side and plenty of holes on the bottom. However, whenever I water, there is always water collecting at the bottom that has trouble flowing out. It can be only a few mm high, but also up to 1cm high if the bottom is filled up with roots or potting medium. Right now I always get the water out by 'fingering' it out of the holes. Am I wasting my time doing this?
I attached a picture of what I mean.
