    I have read several recommendations here about deep watering each time. I am container growing several plants who don't like wet feet (namely my citrus and gardenia trees). Does anyone else find it beneficial to give them a sip at the base at the end of the day? It seems to perk everyone up, I just hope I'm not causing root rot and not knowing it.

    I edited to add that I am using my moisture meter and the rest of the soil is at or over the suggested level and isn't in need of a drink yet.
