I Almost Replaced My Houseplant Pots Until I Found $20 Inserts That Add Drainage to Any Planter – No More Overwatering This Winter

Monstera fruit and flowers.

One of the biggest things I struggle with in winter is keeping my houseplants at a happy moisture level, and I'm not the only one. Overwatering is common among houseplant owners at this time of year, as colder room temperatures cause soil to dry out slowly. It's even harder to manage if you don't have planters with drainage holes. But, I've just found an ingenious tool that fixes this problem in an instant: drainage planter inserts.

It's one of the simplest indoor plant tools I've come across. All you have to do is put a drainage planter insert (available at Amazon) in your planter to create empty space beneath soil level for excess water to drain to. It's the winter houseplant care essential I've been looking for, and now I don't have to replace all of my favorite beautiful ceramic houseplant pots for ones with drainage holes.
