How often should I water my plants?

The frequency of watering plants can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of plants you are growing, the climate in which they are situated, and the time of year. Generally, most houseplants prefer to be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This could mean watering once a week for some plants, while others may only need watering every two to three weeks. Outdoor plants may need more frequent watering during hot and dry weather and less when it is cooler and more humid. It is also important to consider the type of soil utilized, as well-draining soil will require more frequent watering compared to soil that retains moisture. Overwatering can be just as detrimental as underwatering, so it is crucial to monitor the specific needs of each plant. For specific advice tailored to your plants, it is helpful to check the care instructions associated with your particular varieties.
