Recycled plastic pellets for those eager to water? Male
Default Recycled plastic pellets for those eager to water?

Hey, gang!

This is a thought I had looking around Etsy, coming across DavesGardenObsession (I've had good experience with Dave) and I've seen this note on many of his listings:

Quote:
I am frequently asked about the media in the pots that I use for growing neos. The potting media you see in these photos is recycled plastic pellets. They are completely inert, do not hold water or nutrients, and make it very easy for me to control moisture around the roots to avoid root rot.
Out of curiousity, how many of you have had experiences using plastic pellets and is it a good choice of medium for people who like to eagerly water?

My wife likes the idea of keeping some plants (I have the green thumb in our relationship), but she tends to overwater. Some succulents instead of orchids are an obvious choice for anyone new to keeping plants, but succulents can be overwatered as well. There's other people I know that tend to overwater as well, so maybe plastic pellets might work as a medium for those who like to water too much.
