Hi, I have some questions regarding self watering planters. Last year I purchased two big self watering planters because some of my indoor plants were rootbound. The new planters were one size bigger than the old, traditional planters. I didn't change my watering habit to these plants. However, one of the plants (Dragon tree) got root rot and didn't make it. After I emptied the pot, I tried to clean it and I poured water in it. The water didn't seem to be draining. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be the water reservior design. I'm kind of afraid to plant anything in these pots again. This seems to contradict the traditional, good plant watering habit, which is to water the plants until water flow through the drain holes. I'm wanting to get a star jasmine plant and plant it in this pot this summer. What do you think? Is there such thing as over watering for this kind of pot? Will the roots grow deep into the reservior which leads to root rot one day? Thank you.
