If you’re always wondering, “Did I water too much? Too little? Did I just kill it again?”—you’re def not alone. Watering is lowkey one of the trickiest parts of plant care, but it don’t have to be a guessing game. First off, stick your finger into the soil about an inch deep. If it feels dry, it’s time to water. If it’s still moist, back off for a day or two. Overwatering is the #1 way people accidently murder their plants. Roots need air too—not just water—so when soil stays soaked, they can rot. Always use pots with drainage holes (no excuses!), and let the excess water run out. Water slowly so it sinks in deep, not just runs off the top. Morning’s the best time to water so plants can drink up before the sun gets too hot. Bonus tip: group plants with similar water needs together. That way you won’t forget which ones like it dry and which ones are thirsty 24/7. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a watering pro—no drowning, no crispy leaves, just happy, thriving plants.
