WATERING

How often should I water my plants?

The frequency of watering depends on several factors such as plant type, environmental conditions, and the season. Generally, it's best to water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. An easy metric to water your plants by is to water about once a week (adjust per each plant requirements).

Another option is using a moisture meter. By using a moisture meter, you can effectively gauge when to water your plants, helping to prevent both underwatering and overwatering, promoting healthier plant growth.

Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect light. However, some plants, like snake plants.

Direct Light:

○ Direct light refers to sunlight that shines directly on a plant without any obstruction. This usually occurs when a plant is placed in a south-facing window or outdoors in full sunlight.

○ Direct sunlight tends to be intense and can cause leaves to burn or scorch if the plant is sensitive or not acclimated to such high light levels.

○ Some plants, such as cacti and succulents, thrive in direct sunlight and require several hours each day to grow and flower properly.

Indirect Light:

○ Indirect light refers to sunlight that is filtered or diffused before reaching the plant. This can occur when sunlight passes through a sheer curtain, bounces off walls, or is shaded by surrounding trees or structures.

○ Indirect light is typically gentler and less intense than direct sunlight, making it suitable for a wide

Signs that your plant may need repotting:
Signs include oots growing out of drainage holes, soil drying out quickly, and stunted growth. Repotting is typically done every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot.

Choose the Right Time:
Repot your plant during its active growing season, typically in spring or early summer. Avoid repotting during periods of stress, such as flowering or extreme temperature fluctuations.

Select the Right Pot:
Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.
