How often should I water my plants?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of watering plants largely depends on several factors such as plant type, weather conditions, and soil moisture. As a general rule, it is recommended to water plants deeply rather than frequently. This ensures that water reaches the root zone where it is needed the most. To determine when it's time to water, check the moisture level by inserting your finger into the soil. If it feels dry, it is time to water. However, be cautious not to overwater as it can lead to root rot and other issues. Adjusting watering frequency according to the specific needs of each plant and keeping an eye on environmental conditions will help maintain healthy and thriving plants.
