FAQ about Watering Plants with a Watering Can
- Water your houseplants with tepid water to prevent leaf yellowing and leaf drop. Cold water causes a shock to the roots and promotes leaf drop.
- Most houseplants prefer to be on the dry side between watering to allow oxygen around the root zone. A constantly wet houseplant gets too little oxygen and can die from too much love!
- Don’t water your houseplants on a particular schedule. Every day is different in the plant world.
- Poke a finger in the potting soil. If the soil is dry about an inch down, it’s time to water again.
- Tap water contains mineral salts that can accumulate on the top edges of your planters and pots. To prevent these salts from building up, occasionally take your houseplants to the sink, water them deep and thoroughly, (called flushing) let them drain, and return them to their growing places.
- Wash the leaves while you’re watering. Houseplants can’t exchange gases if the leaves are covered in dust.
