Hey, people 👋🤓 Anybody know if this self-watering setup is suitable for ALL* types of #plants, including those that don't require daily watering -- like #sansevieria, #pothos, #JadePlant, #MoneyPlant?

And that's the crazy thing. The seller used snake plants for the photos on the product page! 🤯 So I thought, maybe I'm missing something. Maybe it's okay for all types of plants. 🤷
@evelyn
Never trust sellers. 😉
@manuelcaeiro
Oh so true. 😐
@evelyn That could work but your mileage may vary depending on multiple factors such as your environment (temperature, humidity, etc), the soil mix and the wicking material
@JauneBaguette
So I guess I may have a few more dead plants before I figure it out. 😅
@evelyn
Not for sansevieria, for example:
> Soil for Snake Plants
Snake plants do best with a free-draining soil mix, because they are easily prone to rot. A soilless potting mixture is best to ensure adequate drainage. Also be sure to use a terracotta pot that won’t trap water inside and promptly remove any standing water from the saucer.
