Best practices for healthy growth.
Drench, Don't Drizzle
Water until it runs out the bottom. This ensures the entire root ball is hydrated and flushes out salt buildup from fertilizers.
The Finger Test
Before watering, stick your finger two inches into the soil. If it's still damp, wait a few days regardless of what the schedule says.
Morning is Best
Watering in the morning gives plants a full day to absorb moisture before the sun sets and evaporation slows down.
Mind the Water Quality
Most plants are fine with tap, but sensitive species (like Calatheas or Ferns) prefer distilled or rain water to avoid tip burn.
