Houseplant 101: How Often to Water Your Houseplants - Ep 119

The “Houseplant 101: Back to Basics” series continues, but this time with the question: How often should we water our houseplants? It’s easy to spout off general watering guidelines (plant pun intended), but in this episode, I teach you how to go beyond cursory houseplant watering tips and learn how to read a plant’s watering needs.
And don’t fret: If I didn’t answer your watering questions in this episode-I have more houseplant watering episodes right around the corner in the next couple episodes.

I worked at Kew in the glasshouses for 18 years, I think this is the best container watering video I’ve seen. Almost word for word what we used to teach the horticulture students. Well done! One more tip - if you grow in terracotta - we used to tap the pots with the back side of our secateurs. The resulting sound will be different depending on how much moisture is in the pot. A dry pot will ring like a bell 😊

[@jahpickney2640]

Best job ever

[@BerylBerry]

Wow thank you! Yes I use the chop stick method and it works ! The tapping of terra cotta is a cool new tool, my plants that in terra cotta are snake plants! My plants love me 😅

[@isidoreaerys8745]

Summer I’m so proud of you! Your botanical expertise and storytelling shows you’ve put a lot of work into studying. You’ve come a long way as a teacher in the past year. So refreshing to see someone build upon their fame and become a genuine educator for their community.

[@evacherie]

this was super timely. i spent about 3 hours last night dealing with a major root rot incident because i "over loved" my plants. thank you.

[@LeeDfined]

We've all been there. I still over water some of my Sansevieria and have to repot and cut leaves in order to save it.

[@jackimoon8284]

Earth Boy Sun And Rain. I water my sanseveria like a succulent sometimes LOL it’s always seemed pretty happy 🤷‍♀️

[@lashawnataylor9658]

evacherie did you over water once or was it an accumulation of overwatering?

[@sonyagower1720]

I purposefully planted my Sanseviria in a succulent mix so its harder to overwater.

[@pawala7]

@@LeeDfined It's pretty much unavoidable without anti-fungal treatments or constantly replacing your soil. If someone claims to never have lost a plant to root rot, then they obviously haven't had many plants.

[@caramelsandiego]

You need to do a TED talk on plants. Seriously.

[@summerrayneoakes]

haha that's so sweet.

[@Frisenette]

TED is DEAD. This is so much better than any modern TED talk could ever be on the subject. The original Technology Entertainment Design conference and TED2 was great, but they are firmly rooted in the 80s. What is called TED now is just a bad imitation.

[@caramelsandiego]

Helge Frisenette Uhhh... it wasn’t that deep. Just complimenting her on her awesome presentation skills.

[@Frisenette]

Jen Since88 I took it deep. And what you wrote (probably unknowingly) could be taken as a backhanded compliment. TED quickly turned into a self aggrandizing prol fest of fumes and bad theatre.

[@caramelsandiego]

Helge Frisenette Summer appreciated my comment. That’s all that matters to me, as I thoroughly enjoy her content, and I have learned a lot from her. On the other hand, your commentary has been intrusive, unpleasant, condescending and EXTRA (and I believe that was absolutely your intention). So with that said... Good day.

I often go by the weight of the pot when watering😊 After a while of "getting to know the plant"😅, I start to get a feel for when the plant is substantially lighter verses heavy with water & that helps a lot.

[@jackimoon8284]

GisForGangsta this is so true! You can tell by the weight! I usually only do this for my succulents because there are so OK to be completely dry 👌

[@Methodician]

I love the emphasis on just observing your plants. I've been doing something a little odd lately and potting up almost everything in glass containers (usually with no drainage) which allows me to literally "observe" the roots and soil/substrate. No more guess work if you can actually see the water.

[@feeneante4592]

Oh I've been wanting to try that for a month now but I can't find glass pots, could you please tell me where you found them or what did you use?

[@Zopf-international]

Can I just comment on the fact that plant loving people are, like the host here, pretty much open, articulate and bright and healthy individuals.

[@agardenbeyondparadise9787]

[@trubluecrafter1060]

Yes, this is a great video about watering. Living in a humid, hot climate, watering is tricky. Most videos here DO say to check the top 2 inches, but it makes more sense to test further down.

[@l0I0I0I0]

Noticed you use simple clamps to hange plants vertically. GREAT idea! TY

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

We get so much humidity with excessive heat here in Central Florida Zone 9b, so it can be so tough at times. Observing your plants is so important and I love to watch them everyday! Thanks for the awesome info💖

[@juliek7650]

The best thing I ever bought for my plants was a soil moisture thermometer. Looking, feeling and noticing is also important. Thanks for the video!!

[@JamieR2077]

Don't forget to feel the weight of the pot! Relatively heavy means saturated, light means it may need water! We like the rapid test moisture meter that doesn't need batteries

I got a water meter recently. Does t have an on/off, just a dial (analogue version). I found this to be extremely useful. What I though was dry, turned out to be wet. Especially plants with lots of deep roots.

[@mcnimi]

the chopstick idea is brilliant, thank you!

[@barbll000]

Watering seems so simple but it's not. Thanks for this video, I'm newer to houseplants and had them all winter so I was able to observe them and I've gotten to know how they look when they're sending out the message 'I need water. Also, I've learned that two different plants in the same pot can vary greatly on their water consumption.

[@blankwhite6163]

I’m so glad you mentioned the checking deeper into the soil for water ! Too many ppl say 2 inches and it’s a lie. You can kill your plant just doing that little. Some soil dries slowly and the bottom half can still be too wet ! I know this by experience I bought a plant that the top half was suuuper dry but when I repotted the bottom was super wet

[@tbz1551]

Great tips! So useful for me as I have some unique areas and the standard watering instructions are rarely helpful. One thing I would add would be ‘air flow’ as I have to water much more when the windows are open near the plants and they are getting more air passing over the soil.

[@AngelDivinity111]

That chopstick trick and soil sleuth are a game changer!

Summer you’re my botanical guru! I already got your fashion book and I’m getting your plant book soon! Thank you for making plant care so fun! I also love how you ask everyone to be introspective about what kind of plant parent they really are to determine what kind of plant they should get. That alone should save a lot of unnecessary plant deaths!

[@nataliescholz1722]

I always checked only the top few cm of the soil and I was watering all the time. Then I noticed some (actually a lot) fungus gnats and when I repotted some plants I also noticed tons of mould in the bottom of the soil. Moral of the story: I am now 100times more careful with watering 😂 Great video, came just in time for me and my plants 🌱❤️

[@summerrayneoakes]

Good case in point!

A moisture meter helps a TON. I know a lot of people preach against them, but honestly as a new plant parent they teach you a lot. It helps you understand the standing water table in your pots, and to monitor it. It also teaches you how different soils and different pots dry out. I love mine. Plus, you get extra soil aeration!

Hey, Summer! I have an analog moisture meter that I've trusted for years now. It has a 1 to 4 scale on its readout, but I usually don't pay as much attention to that as I do to simply where the needle falls on the spectrum from dry to wet on the meter face. It has never failed me, doesn't need batteries, and is minimally invasive like the tools you showed in your video. Highly recommend!

HPE Teacher This happens with my plants too so often after repotting.

Thank you, Summer. You are a wealth of knowledge! Please take us on a tour of your "typical" watering process. I have over 200 plants but have recently added Hoyas to the mix. Beyond the typical Carnosas, Pubicalix andWayetii (sp?), I am finding it difficult to know when to water them. The very airy mix is what throws me off. It feels dry all the time.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Remember that Hoya don't mind a periodic drying out. And the H. carnosa in particular needs an extended dry period in spring in order to promote blooming too.

[@TheAlbaGarden]

Really fantastic advice. Thank you so much for sharing. Will be looking forwards to the video in bottom watering. Love from Scotland.

[@petercardona1559]

Excellent collection of helpful information. However, I do find your take on the "top two inches" extremely interesting. I find it depends on the specific plant. Most of our beginner houseplants will benefit from your approach of waiting for a more complete dryness throughout the plant. This might lead to collapse of more delicate/advanced plants that require a more moist medium. Plants like certain pilea, certain ficus, New World carnivorous species, pellionia, "ferns", true ferns & fittonia will not respond well to waiting. They may not even recover from the wilt. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on bottom watering! 😊👍 Lastly, thanks for existing Summer Rayne you beautiful human! 👩🐔 You personify the beauty of science and the free exchange of ideas where we all learn from each other.👍

[@rpcrev]

New to indoor plants and Just found your vids. Very helpful and especially your other 101 on watering. From what I've observed and perhaps wrongly assumed is that the 2 inch down method is because you don't want most plants to thoroughly dry out. Hence watering when top 2 inches dry means the plant doesn't fully dry out. Could you please clarify. Kind regards Martin

[@deborahkrouskop580]

I have received my first peperomia metallica and need to know if it’s okay to plant it in a self-watering planter, and maybe just not keep water in the base continuously? Thank you so very much for your advice and for “all of your wonderful” videos😊

I use a water meter that has two prongs and measures light, ph, and moisture levels. Love it. You’re actually not supposed to dip the prongs in straight up liquid, not sure why... but it works quite well paired up with all of the tips in the video. I also make sure to stick the prong in multiple different spots of the soil because I have found that some areas in the pot will say it is dry and some areas are still moist.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for the tips. I had to dip mine in pure water b/c it doesn't work otherwise, which is part of the reason why I asked for better reccos of moisture meters. I don't find this one I have so reliable!

That was soooo helpful. It's amazing how little useful information is available about how to water plants. I started out watering based on top 2 ... but then after checking with a moisture meter and finding that indeed the bottom was wet I started relying more on the moisture meter for some just the weight. I like the idea of using a chop stick instead of the clunky moisture meter that I have. Thank you Summer for explaining why its important and how to take care of the roots ... Root Care! I have some plants that like to stay moist but my Spider plants, Pothos and Aloe Vera like to dry out between waterings.

Hi Summer, what's the plant that you water with the most frequency in the summer or winter? Is it possible for a Bonnie spider plant to need water every 5 days? My indoor plant with northeastern exposure is about 1 foot from a large 6 x 6 foot window and was repotted about a month ago from a 4" to a 5" plastic planter. It also started producing babies at the top and new offshoots on the sides. Over the sunny weekend, it seemed to suck all its water down. It receives about 4 hours of direct morning sunlight. The humidity is monitored at 50%, room temp is around 80 during the day and the room is air conditioned at night. Soil type is 1/2 premium organic potting mix and 1/2 cactus soil.
