I inserted a "lucky bamboo" in a pot with half garden soil, half desert sand. I noticed that when I water it, the water seems to stay at the top, and I hardly see anything at all in the drainage tray at the bottom of the pot. I'm wondering---is this because the drainage is clogged (by rocks or mud, etc.)? or is this simply because garden soil absorbs so much water that it expands and doesn't let any through?
The reason I'm asking is that I'd rather not disturb the plant and uproot it, to look at the pot, if in fact the pot is working as designed--if its the garden soil itself that is the cause of this.
