How do I properly water my potted plants?

To water your potted plants effectively, check the soil moisture first. Stick your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it's time to water.

How much water should I use?

The amount of water depends on the plant size and type. Generally, water until it drains out of the bottom of the pot, ensuring the roots are well-hydrated.

Should I water them every day?

Not necessarily. Most potted plants prefer to dry out a bit between waterings. Check the soil moisture regularly to determine the right frequency.

What about during winter?

In winter, many plants enter a dormant phase and require less water. Be sure to check the soil moisture more frequently, as it may dry out slower.

Any tips for preventing overwatering?

To prevent overwatering, ensure your pots have drainage holes, use well-draining soil, and always check the soil moisture before watering.
