How often should I water my plants?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of watering plants depends on various factors such as the plant species, pot size, environmental conditions, and soil type. A general guideline is to water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is crucial to avoid excessive moisture. In most cases, plants require watering once or twice a week, but this can vary. Succulents and cacti prefer drier conditions and may need watering only every couple of weeks. On the other hand, tropical plants may necessitate more frequent watering due to their high humidity needs. It is advised to monitor your plants regularly and make adjustments based on their individual requirements for optimal growth and health.
