Hi guys, today was watering day for my babies but I was late and needed to hurry, so I didnt have time to wait the most part of the water drain, since it takes like half an hour or more. So I got some paper towel from my kitchen and put it around the saucer at the edges, so it could absorb the water when it comes out after watering.
The problem was that I put a little more water this time than usual, so obviously more water came out of the bottom. When I got home, like 16 hours later, found out that the paper towel couldnt handle absorbing that much of water, there was about half an inch left (1,0-1,5 centimeters), like a nail or something similar. Then, of course I emptied the saucers.
So my question is: what exactly happens when this occurs? Why everybody says to empty the saucer? Is that bad not doing/forgetting to do it? Will my plants have a slow growth or even die?!
Or have any other kind of problem? (supposing: lack of nutrients or something that was sucked by that water standing there?). And if there is any kind of damage, is it forever or it will recover??
Please relieve my conscience! Thank you.
