I'm new to plant care and have a fiddle leaf fig that has been thriving thanks to my careful watering routine. I currently move it to the sink to drain any excess water and avoid root rot, but as the plant grows, it becomes a hassle to keep transporting it. I'm looking for suggestions on how to effectively drain pots in their spot without creating standing water. I'm considering using a mesh platform to let the water drain through without moving the pot. Any other tips or products you use to manage this situation?

Self-watering pots could be a game changer for you! They help if you tend to overwater, and once you set them up, your plants will thrive without much effort. I definitely recommend checking them out!
This sounds like a great option! I'll dive into self-watering pots.
Have you thought about using a food baster? It works wonders for pulling out excess water without having to move your plant around too much. Just suck out the water until you're at a level that reduces the risk of rot, and it should dry up within a day.
Totally agree, they can really save you some hassle!
