Confused about how much water your plant is getting? If you are unsure, take a look at what your plant is doing.
Wilting leaves or soil that looks pulled away from the sides of its planter are signs of a thirsty plant. Check the compost 5cm from the top, if there is any sign of moisture or dampness, it has enough water. You can also check by lifting the plant and container- if it’s light, this will let you know it needs some water.
A watering schedule of once a fortnight is suitable for most common houseplants however this can change throughout the year. In the winter, plants are growing slower and need less water. Be mindful that if your heat is on regularly, the soil can tend to dry quicker and may need a little more water.
Lastly,we recommend purchasing a simple spray bottle which can be used to give a quick burst of hydration around the leaves, they’ll love it!
