Watering Your Plants
You should check your particular plant to see proper watering instructions, and make sure
that you follow the watering instructions carefully. Watering your plants is the most
important thing you can do for them. You will find that a properly watered plant will
grow healthily and live a long, happy life. Generally, plants in the home do not require as
much water as plants grown outside. As a rule of thumb, water your plants when the top
inch of the soil is dry, and always make sure water is uniformly distributed over the soil
surface. If you feel really ambitious you can place your plant in a bucket of water until
the soil is drenched, then drain it. Always be aware of the level of moisture in the plant
soil. Soil that is too moist will cause root rot, and soil that is too dry will cause your plant
to drop its leaves. When watering your plants you should make sure the water is at room
temperature. Some plants require soft water. You can obtain soft water by collecting rain
water or by boiling tap water and allowing it to cool to room temperature before
using. Happy watering!
