If it is not rotting, i would just check on it every couple weeks or so to make sure it is alright. Otherwise, if you want to be safe, you could just rub some fungicide powder all over the base, and wherever rot can occur.

I believe orienting it upside down can ensure that the moisture doesn't concentrate into the base.
