I've kind of adopted this way of watering after tinkering with these plants for about a year now and it seems to show healthier growth. This really only works with plastic pots and any other form that is flexible. First thing you do is squeeze inward around the pot a few times so the media had risen an inch or so. Second you water the plant and then pack down the media back to however dense you had it maybe just a little bit more to help drive those nutrients into those roots. This works with peat moss and lfm. Here's a few pictures showing the process. Does anyone else water this way?
