The use of conventional gravel at the bottom of pots is less effective for drainage and can lead to increased water retention problems. Modern findings indicate that a minimal barrier at the drainage hole suffices for soil retention. Mixing in materials like perlite and coco peat throughout the soil aids in water circulation, with coco peat contributing both sustainable properties and moisture retention, ultimately supporting robust root environments for plants.
