Under the category of “I wish I had thought of that,” we have the Drain Away tray. We all use trays under our flowerpots. Sometimes, the tray stays filled with water, turning green with algae or attracting mosquitoes.If the tray stays filled with water, a few bad things can happen. The plant roots can stay too wet and rot. A clay flowerpot soaks up water and minerals, leaving unsightly stains. Mosquitoes can find enough water to hatch their eggs.
