...the water just goes through the pot right past them and they do not have a chance to absorb water to be held in the container.

However, if you set the container in a drip tray overnight and allow the water to be absorbed through the base of the container they do perform the function of holding moisture in the soil for a longer period of time.



Now I know why I never had much luck using them - I always watered from the top. Thank you for sharing this information Thumbs up
