And here's another picture that shows some of the ways I do bottom watering. I have some small pots of violets on a plate that has a pretty good lip on it so it can serve as a tray -- the plate on this shelf (left side of photo) is also on a lazy susan so it's easy to get to all 7 plants on it. I also put plastic or terra cotta pots down inside decorative containers like these glass punch cups or that brown onion soup bowl.... I just lift up the inner pot and pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch of warm water into the outer dish, enough for the plant to soak up plenty without then sitting in water for days.
