The Great Soil Cover-Up: What’s your go-to?

Pebbles look sleek and keep soil from splashing, but some plant parents swear they trap too much moisture and lead to the dreaded root rot. Others prefer the natural look of moss or the breathability of plain old dirt.

If you're using pebbles, they work best for plants that love to stay a bit more humid. If you’re a chronic over-waterer, you might want to skip them so the soil can dry out faster!

(I use some of my left over aquarium pebbles and my crystals !!)

Where do you stand? Help me settle this! 🪴👇

Team Pebbles: Clean, modern, and keeps gnats away.
