I'm bringing my plants inside for winter and getting them ready with the 'bathtub submerge' method! This is key for full saturation and pest control.

How Long to Submerge for a Deep Soak:
You should generally submerge the pots (up to the rim of the soil) for 15 to 30 minutes.

Watch for the Bubbles: When you first submerge the pot, you'll see a lot of air bubbles coming to the surface. This is the air being pushed out of the soil as water takes its place.

The Sign to Stop: Once the bubbles stop appearing, your soil is fully saturated. At this point, you can remove the pot. For very dense or large pots, 30 minutes is a safe maximum.

The Critical Next Step: The Drain!
This is perhaps the most important part. You MUST allow every drop of excess water to drain out before bringing the plant inside.

Drain Time: Let the pots sit in the empty tub or a sink for at least 30 to 60 minutes until no more water is dripping out. Waterlogged soil indoors is a recipe for root rot and mold.

Winter Pest Prevention (The Secret Weapon):
The soak takes care of the watering, but to prevent a winter pest infestation (especially fungus gnats, which are attracted to damp soil):

Soil Drying: After the deep soak, let the top inch or two of the soil dry out completely before their next watering.

Top Dressing: Consider adding a layer of sand, perlite, or diatomaceous earth (DE) to the top of the soil once they are inside. This creates a dry barrier that prevents fungus gnats from laying eggs.

This process ensures your plants are perfectly hydrated and you're not bringing unwelcome hitchhikers into your warm home! Happy wintering, everyone! 🌿🏠
