Wicking and bottom watering is close all goes up from the bottom. I wick 99 percent of my plants and all my solo cups with leaves. I only use solo cups for leaves and all plants babies or aduilts are in wicked pots. Just I have so many so the leaves are in clear plastic boxes I pour or someone does it for me I'm disabled and can not do
it myself. And my plants are on trays wicked and watered the same way. I keep like plants on the same trays, like Mini's, micro's, semi's standard, size pots together. Most of the big plants I grow for trade or to give leaves away are on their own saucer and though I love and enjoy their blooms I like ttto grow the mini's best :))
Now in our living room, kitchen and so on we have many windows and there are plants all of them are in plastic pots from 1 1/2 ", thumbprint for micros, 2 " , 2.25, 2.50, 3 " 4 " I use a lot of pan pots for trailers and Gessies, Streps and so on :))
They are wicked ( I learned from local group people who have been growing and showing 30 plus year the two peice pretties are better for looks after I bought a ton) So my plants sit in them for display , along anything else cute I can find ti display them inn. But their all pretty much wicked except some of my 6 inch and 12 " hanging pots. Plus people that show have to use white pots for av's certian sizes .. blah blah.. now there is no way that is correct or wrong way. The best ways are what works for you :)) If it's not broken don't change it , this is just some ideas of what I enjoy doing and what has worked well for me :))
I need to get my film devloped to show you some of my holders.
I'll see if I can find an old picture
