ok two of my plants are growing in pots in compost, peat and perlite basically but it rains here way too much so the drainage doesnt seem to be good enough. i have been moving them to shelter recently when it looks bad just to try and dry them out a bit as theyre being over-watered which stops me being able to fertilize them.
was thinking of putting a piece of polystyrene around the base of the plant with a hole cut for the stem so like a disk with a channel it can slot into and raise it up enough to allow air to get to the soil. is this stupid? will polystyrene do anything in direct sunlight fumes, melting etc or are there any other problems with this other than looking a bit conspicuous.
