Houseplant Care: A Beginner's Guide to Water from Costa Farms

Knowing when to give your houseplants water isn't about scheduling; it's about being able to judge whether the plant is thirsty. Unfortunately this isn't as simple as setting a reminder in your phone, so we've put together a quick guide to help.

When it comes to plants, there's a lot that can affect how often they want water. Rather than go into each factor individually to build some massive algebraic equation for each plant in your home, we think it's best to learn how to understand your plant, and diagnose its needs.

Overwatering and underwatering can often lead to the same symptoms in a plant so what you actually need to look at is the moisture of the soil. We talk about what your potting mix should look like in Low-, Medium-, and High-Water Plants, so you don't need to worry about under or more importantly over watering your lovely houseplants.
