Mail Using grow bags and other help!

Hi from 80 degree South Carolina! Has anyone ever used grow bags to grow their dwarf plants? I have two that do not seem to like the pots they are in. Is it true that you need to soak the pot with water until it runs out the bottom? I have done this but the plants do not seem to like this. I just need someone to tell me what I should be doing. They are about a foot tall, they were suckers taken off a bulb.Help!

If you have a very fast draining pot mix that would be ok. But really, you only need the flush the pot may be once a month. For the size of plant you have a cup of water every 10 days should be good. ... I recommend getting a long stem moister meter and water when the potting soil is near dry.

Thanks for posting to the forum.
There are many Youtube videos about the use of grow bags and how to get the most from them.
A few forum members use them instead of containers and they really do work.
Alot of sucess has to do with the soil you use also.
