Watering schedule
A simple watering schedule for plants
Start with a basic schedule, then adjust for light, season, and soil moisture. Your plant's environment matters.
Factors that change watering
- Light: brighter light usually increases water needs.
- Season: growth slows in winter, so water less.
- Soil: fast-draining soil dries quicker.
- Pot size: smaller pots dry faster.
Starter schedule (adjust as needed)
- Check soil weekly for most houseplants.
- Water when the top 1-2 inches are dry.
- Let excess water drain fully.
- Observe leaves for stress signals.
