It all depends on the needs of the plant in question. Exotic houseplants, for example, will need different conditions than native plants. Thus, it\u2019s vital to get some basic information about the plant you are keeping at home. There are, however, some general rules which you can follow when watering your houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plants with thick leaves and stems \u2013 such as aloe vera, prickly pear or schlumbergera \u2013 do not need much water. They store it in their leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plants with large leaves need more water as their evaporation area is much larger than that of smaller plants.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The frequency and quantity of watering for houseplants depends not only on the plants themselves but also on the time of year. In winter plants need much less watering than in summer. This is not only because of lower water evaporation, but also because many plants go dormant in winter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plants need water most in the morning. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to plan your watering then.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Young plants have a higher demand for water than older plants. The same applies to pre-flowering plants.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to water houseplants<a id=\"how-to-water\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-1024x698.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3343\" srcset=\"http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-1024x698.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-scaled-600x409.jpg 600w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-300x204.jpg 300w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-768x523.jpg 768w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-1536x1047.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-2048x1396.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-23x16.jpg 23w, http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-often-to-water-280x191.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Watering houseplants is influenced not only by the species, the time of day, the year and the appearance of the leaves. Remember that the plant needs the gardener\u2019s observation and reaction. Contrary to appearances, plants do not need routine watering. To find out if it is necessary, you need to monitor the plant regularly and especially check the soil. The best way to do this is to insert your finger three centimetres deep into the pot. If it is dry and the soil does not stick to your finger, it is a clear sign that the plant needs watering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A popular mistake made by home gardeners is also to water plants \u201ca little at a time\u201d but more frequently. In such a situation, very often the water does not reach the deepest layers of soil and thus the roots. This can cause the plant to wither in spite of constant efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watering houseplants may not seem complicated, but it is certainly not a task we can take on without any knowledge. It\u2019s really useful to know the plant species and the general watering rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check out also:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/naturallybalanced.devversion.pl\/en\/how-to-make-a-forest-in-a-jar\/\">How to make a forest in a jar?
