Mastering Summer Watering
Summer's warmth means your plants will be thirstier than usual. Our easy-care houseplants might be more forgiving, but all plants need careful attention to watering during this season.
Here's your essential watering guide:
- Check soil moisture every 2-3 days
- Water when the top 5cm (2 inches) of soil feels dry
- Water thoroughly until it runs through drainage holes
- Empty excess water from saucers after 30 minutes
- Water in the morning to prevent overnight dampness
Pro Tip: Different plants have varying water needs. For instance, our cacti collection requires less frequent watering compared to tropical Calatheas.
