I would be really surprised if that caused a problem. They say one to four ratio which would be 20%. 25% is not much more and I’m pretty sure I’ve done that in the past.

@Just1More LOVE to hear this thank you cindy! i swear i read 1 to 4 recently, so i just did it, and googled afterwards (always a bad idea) to see people say 10% and got super freaked out.

@StromantheSlave I think it will be fine but you can rinse if you are concerned. That said make sure it drains well .

No not out of the pot Just submerge the pot up to soil level let it set a couple minutes then slowly lift it out

It really benificial yo do it occasionally anyway. Like i said it leaches salts and mineral build up Buf it also aerates the soil and fights compaction

Make surecto lift it out slowly though that way it doesnt suck thd soil back down as it drains out the bottom. Lifting fast causes thd watef to just drop out almost suctioning the soil down with it But go slow it keaves all thd air pickets behind
