I didn't explain properly sry! what i did i put the pots in the bath (empty off course) without the saucers to drain ,only this once i didn't let the water for 24-48 hours to see how much they need to drain,coz last time gave them 1 lt water wasn't enough. The water i fill a plastic tank i got ,leave it & sometimes i stir it to keep it airiated then i feed them with it
