The frequency of watering a plant depends on various factors, such as the type of plant, the climate, the size of the pot, the season and even the lighting.
Here are some general tips:
- Succulents and cacti: usually need very little water. Water every 15 to 20 days, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Indoor plants (such as boa, peace lily)water for 7 to 10 days. Make sure the soil is dry to the touch before watering again.
- Outdoor plants with direct sunlight: these plants generally need more frequent watering, 2-3 times a week, especially in summer.
- Aromatic herbsBasil and rosemary: like basil and rosemary, they prefer moist soil. Water 1 to 2 times a week, always checking that the soil is moist.
The best way to know when to water is to always check the soil moisture with your finger - if it's dry, it's time to water.
