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 😊

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

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.

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!

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.👍

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

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.

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.

Summer, how long in between waterings should a succulent type stay dry? For example, a tiny pot with a hoya kerrii or sansevieria that dries out in less than a week (during growing season) how long should the dry period be? For someone checking their plants everyday, when is it too soon to water?

Thanks for the tip about observing your plants. Seems like common sense, and yet I’ve found that it’s something I absolutely have to and love to do given all of the variables in my indoor garden setup/ “experiment.” I’m gonna watch the how-to-water your plants video next, because I’ve got to know how you keep water from getting all over the floor and the walls... 🙃

Hi Summer, very informative video, can you please also share some tips on self-watering planters? can plants be planted in those planters permanently? will they cause over-watering?

Very glad you like it. the top is organic cotton knit by Linda Loudermilk. The pants are a linen-cotton mix by one of my favorite local designers-a design duo that lives up the street called Kai D.; and the handcrafted necklaces are made by the Tuareg people of Africa alongside a wonderful French designer whom I met at the Ethical Fashion Show in Paris over a decade ago named Ombre Claire.

I like this ep very much. Most of us killed plants due to overwatering most of the time. I have a collection of orchids and they are very sensitive with the moisture in the media. If I don't pay much attention about the condition of the media, I would damage the orchid plant very easy. Thanks for your video.

I used a 50/50 potting mix & coarse sand for my Haworthias, and surprisingly this year I had lots of root rot although they were rarely watered. After a while, I realized that cuttings I rooted in thimble-sized bonsai and terra-cota pots with same soil have outlived the mother plants from which I took cuttings.

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. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Charissa Lucille hi It’s because the grower or supplier of compost used spent mushroom compost and some of the mycelium stays alive .we went to stay at your hotel that it had tons of mushroom compost tipped on the lawn, They had mushrooms for a long while everything on the menu had mushrooms in it but they were delicious keep picking them there soon die back
