Are your urban planter boxes holding too much water, leaving your plants waterlogged and unhappy? Proper drainage is crucial for healthy roots. First, check if your boxes have enough drainage holes. If not, carefully drill a few more in the bottom. A layer of coarse gravel or broken pottery shards at the bottom of the box can prevent soil from clogging the holes. Consider amending your potting mix with materials like perlite, coarse sand, or coconut coir to improve soil structure and water flow. For a quick fix, gently tilt your planter box after watering to help excess water escape. If root rot has already set in, you may need to remove the plant, trim away the damaged roots, and repot it in fresh, well-draining soil. Regularly clear debris from drainage holes to keep water moving freely. With these simple steps, you can create an ideal environment for your container garden to thrive.
