I’ve been taking my plants to the kitchen to water/drain 1-2 pots at a time but…I may or may not have purchased 10 more plants yesterday and that’s a lot of back and forth. They’re mostly in my foyer which is a half level down.

I’ve been thinking about getting something I can keep in the garage (next to the foyer) and quickly set up/disassemble like this:

Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?

    Do you need to flood/drain them? Our plants do quite well with regular watering inside their pots, without removing them from their spot.

        I have some for the larger plants but I’ve got some hanging plants and a lot of small ones with tiny trays that only give you so much leeway on overfilling. Also no guarantee all the soil will be soaked!

        I don’t have a ton of experience but I have a 100% success rate this way. I’m not quite at the experimentation phase of plantkeeping, I just want to stick with what I know works

      I’m really bad at judging when to stop and have killed a few plants from overwatering without drainage. I haven’t lost one since I started flooding!

      About 15 of them are on the same watering schedule. With a table I can water like 6 at a time, let it drain, then come back for the next set
