How often should I water my house plants?
The watering frequency for house plants varies based on the type and size of the plant. For most small potted plants, it’s essential to keep the soil dry between waterings to prevent soggy soil, which can lead to root rot. Check your plants regularly and water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. For plants like jade plants and aloe vera plants, allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. For larger plants or those in tiny spaces, such as on small shelves or tabletop plant stands, consider their light conditions and adjust watering accordingly.
