How to Water Plants in Mason Jars?
When watering plants in mason jars, which typically lack drainage holes, it’s essential to exercise extreme caution. Only add a minimal amount of water, ensuring it doesn’t accumulate at the bottom. Check the moisture level of the soil carefully by feeling it with your fingers, or use a moisture meter and water sparingly only when it feels almost dry to the touch.
To prevent overwatering, consider using specialized tools like a watering syringe or a turkey baster to deliver water directly to the root zone without water pooling at the jar’s bottom. These tools enable you to add water gradually and with control, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
