Houseplants have a wealth of benefits from purifying the air in your home, improving your mood and brightening up your space. But, to access these benefits it’s important to know how to care for your plants, more important when you should water your houseplants!
People mistake plant watering to be this unknown science. More often than not stopping some from buying or keeping indoor plants in their home. BUT let’s simplify things.
Generally, houseplants’ should be kept moist, but NEVER wet. In the spring and summer months they need watering more regularly, around once to twice a week. In the autumn and winter months, this can be reduced considerably.
How to know when to water
One great way to understand when your plant needs a drink is by placing your finger 2-3 inches into the soil. If the top of the soil feels dry… give your houseplant a drink.
WARNING: overwatering does more damage (so better to stick on the dry side)
