I own an interior plantscape business and we use "sub-irrigation". Something that is rarely used by the home gardeners. It is a fool proof method of watering plants. No longer do you worry about over watering and we only water every two weeks. The plants never sit in water so there is always oxygen around the roots. We use a simple wick method.

I fret about my containers every year. (They're raw terracotta.) I always find myself admiring (and, yes, it's true, stroking) all the glazed pots, modern metal pots and especially the "ancient" looking pots at my local nurseries, but I can never commit myself to any of them. When I'm ready to expand my pot collection, I always wind up with a new terracotta plant. It seems funny (odd, not hilarious) to me that with all the choices I have for plant material, I never fret. I never hem and haw. I always commit. But with pots... all bets are off. First, I tried saying “a squat pot” 10x fast and I couldn’t even do it in my HEAD!
