Water leakage when growing flowers in a set of pots may be because the sizes of the two flower pots are not the same, and water will leak out from the mismatch between the two pots. The bottom of the flower pot itself has drainage holes, which are used for drainage. When too much water is poured, it will naturally leak out from the bottom of the flower pot. It is also possible that the flower pot is made of breathable material and has cracks on it, and water will leak around the flower pot after water is poured on it.
