To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. Add more potting mix as needed. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light.

  4. Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
