Watering Tips
- Water thoroughly until water flows from the drainage holes, then allow the soil to dry according to your plant's needs.
- Always check the soil moisture before watering. This schedule is a guide, but your plant's needs may vary.
- Use room temperature water to avoid shocking your plant's roots.
How to Check Soil Moisture
Finger Test
Insert your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. If it feels dry at that depth, it's time to water most plants.
Weight Test
Lift the pot to feel its weight. A light pot indicates dry soil, while a heavy pot suggests it's still moist.
Moisture Meter
For more accuracy, use a moisture meter to measure the soil moisture at the root level.
