Firstime fiberpot, Taproot through bottom

Hey everyone, so I was getting run off out of the saucers when I noticed that the tap root, and on some pots and occasional side root through the side of the bottom, is growing through.

Now I’ve never used fiberpots before and haven’t ever heard anything about this so I’m unsure if this is good or bad or normal.

Should I leave runoff in there so it doesn’t dry up?

If you guys can let me know what you think I’d greatly appreciate it!

Still remove the runoff. And try to get the pots up off the floor a bit.
That will let those roots air prune like the pots were meant for.
The plants will put out more feeder roots inside the bag.
Normal to see tho.
:v:

Cool. Thank you. I have them on a table so they have better airflow and humidity. That should work right?

Up on a table is fine.
On a pot riser is better.
Doesnt have to be like this one. It can be anything really.

I just use a few blocks of rigid foam or couple bricks with hard pots for mine.
A wire shelf would work for you just as well. and cheap too. :wink: :grin:
