Are Your Potted Plants Thirsty? |

Do you like it when you get thirsty?
Well neither do your potted plants. These garden containers are at your mercy
when it comes to getting enough water to drink. You get to decide if they in
need of clean water or if it’s time to back off so that the roots are not being
drowned in too much water.

If these same plants were growing in the ground instead of
in a flowerpot they would not need as much care. But all potted plants need your
attention. Being inattentive will only
cause sickness but death of these living plants and nobody wants that.

There are many things to consider when deciding how much or
little to water a potted plant. The
location and how much sun it will get, what type of plants or flowers are
potted. Is the weather hot or rainy or
cold and winter. Is your planter deep or
shallow, are the plants roots short like cacti or long and evasive like herbs.

If after reading the tag on the plant when you purchased it
you still need help. Consider purchasing a water meter. You simply stick the metal skewer into the potted plants soil and the meter tells you everything you need to know.

Don’t ever think you can ignore your potted containers. They will need your attention whether the
pottery is located inside or outside.
