Okay I really need to try this in my garden

The space created under the pot allows the roots to expand more freely and grow deeper. This promotes a robust root system, which ultimately supports better plant growth and stability. Deeper roots can access nutrients that are not available in the upper layers of the soil.

In hot climates, the soil temperature can rise to levels that may hinder plant growth. An upside-down pot acts as a shade for the soil underneath, keeping it cooler and providing a more stable temperature environment for your plants. This can be particularly crucial for temperature-sensitive plants.
