Troubleshooting
Pot appears to have a crack.
Inspect the pot carefully. If a crack is found that compromises its integrity, discontinue use. Minor hairline cracks in the glaze are sometimes normal with ceramic products and may not affect functionality.
Water pooling or plant looks unhealthy due to overwatering.
