Troubleshooting
Plants seem overwatered or roots are rotting
Ensure the pots have adequate drainage holes. If not, consider drilling small holes in the bottom. Avoid letting pots sit in standing water.
Soil dries out too quickly
Ensure the pots are placed in a location with appropriate light and humidity. Consider using a moisture-retaining potting mix or a larger outer pot to create a more stable microclimate.
