Like anything growing in pots, you have to be careful that they don't stand in water....it's just been so horribly wet lately.

I have to keep emptying all the saucers under the flower pots on the patio, so i suppose you need to do the same with the bottom halves. They are useful for when it's dry but a pain when it's soooo wet :(
