Hey guys, whenever I water my plants (every 3 days) my plants droop a little.. I was wondering if i stuck a bubbler with airstone in each pot (and keep it in there) if that would increase oxygen levels and maybe increase plant growth? Any thoughts :) P.s. Remember this is in soil

stick you index finger half way down into the pot, if soil doesn't stick to you finger, water it.( the plant, not your finger)

think youd be better off putting some large rocks/pebbles at the bottom of your pot. or invert a cup or something with holes in it to create an air pocket at the bottom of your pot.

that droopiness sounds like you may be watering a little early. is the soil dry when u water?

Your wrong roots do take up straight air from the soil hence the reason you add perilite to your soil to make sure your soil drains well and YOUR ROOTS CAN BREATH!!!!!
