Putting clay pebbles on the bottoms does nothing bedside creating water retention over them; I also did that for may years but i saw a positive change when I stopped! Regular compost is usually too dense as a substrate try to mix it with some perilte to increase water drainage! Hope this was useful to you!
I recommend Sheffield made plants youtube channel, it is really enlightening!
Thanks for this! I think I'll leave them as they are for the time being, and suggest a perlite mix once I gift them (don't want to disturb them too much in a short space of time). I'll check that channel out!
