As my trees and I are roasting and the window a/c barely keeps up, it's almost time for me to dunk the plants again. I try to do this every few months to all of them and am always amazed that no matter how well I think I've watered they're still not drenched! Ever try watering till you think it's soaked and then dunking the plant and watching all the air bubbles?
Currently I use whatever I have on hand, buckets or concrete tubs or livestock feed holders. I got to thinking I should probably pick one thing and dedicate it for dunking to eliminate the "what was the last thing I put in here..." question as I'm filling it up. Does anyone else dunk plants and if so, what do you use?
Caveat: I live in South Florida, all of my plants are outside, I water with well water, most of my plants are in 80-100% turface mixes currently and 95% of them are Portulacaria afra (hence the reason I don't have to dunk more often). I also don't water a dunked plant again until the top part has dried out! I also dunk my jaboticaba pre bonsai and a few other non ports in the water first as I don't fertilize them as heavily and am trying to kinda flush out the ferts
