How often should I water drought-tolerant plants?
Water drought-tolerant plants only when the soil is dry to the touch. The frequency of watering will depend on factors such as pot size, soil mix, and environmental conditions. In general, containers with drought-tolerant plants need to be watered less frequently than those with less resilient plants. During dry summer weather or when plants are grown in large containers, water may be needed less often, as these pots hold water longer.
