House plants bring the beauty of the outdoors indoors. But with any plant, there can be a mess. During watering, loose dirt in the bottom of the pot will escape into the pot's drip tray.

Any of these materials can be used as a filter to allow water out while holding the dirt in the pot. Enjoy your plants and a cleaner house. And that's the On The House tip for today.
