Frequently asked questions

How often should you water your plants?
It varies enormously by plant, pot, position and season, so a schedule tailored to your own plants beats any single rule. That said, some principles help: most plants prefer a good, deep soak less often rather than a little splash every day, which encourages stronger, deeper roots. Check the soil before watering — if the top couple of centimetres are dry, it's usually time; if still damp, wait, as overwatering kills more houseplants than underwatering. Water early morning or evening (not in the midday heat), aim at the roots rather than the leaves, and check pots and containers far more often in hot, dry spells. When you're away, a self-watering system or a kind neighbour saves the day.
