to the roots is a big concern, since the plant requires
this for nutrients to be available, and to rid itself of
toxins, etc. Using a planting medium that allows for

and at the bottom of pots. Don not use a medium that
holds too much water, or you may significantly reduce
the oxygen available to the plant.
