A Note About Water
When should I water my plant? Once a week? Twice a week? Everyday? It depends. Because the needs of plants vary, and the conditions in each home or office are different, there is no way to predict how often a plant needs water. Instead, we water our houseplants when they need water. But how do you know? We use the finger test. Stick your finger (or suitable moisture meter) into the soil to determine if the soil is wet or dry. If it's dry, water the plant. If it's moist, check again in a day or two. The most important thing to remember about watering plants is that less is more. Overwatering is the #1 reason houseplants die. You can always provide a little extra water if needed, but when a plant has been consistently overwatered, it probably won't make it.
