How about catching the water that drains and using it again???

Now thatıs a good idea !
Just would add that the larger the pot the minor the mistakes can
become. 1-1-1 in a small pot or 10-10-10 in a large pot may prevent
salts from becoming an issue. I use large pots inside just for starting
caladiums. Lots of work but I like white in my shade hosta beds. I
also just use my compost for everything. This year did not even harden
off in a cold frame. Forecast is for 36 F Sunday night fingers
crossed but we have 40+ winds today too.
