Watering frequency depends on the plant type, season, and environment. Generally, check the soil moisture with your finger - water when the top inch of soil is dry. Most plants prefer to dry out between waterings rather than stay constantly wet.
Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect light. This means near a window but not in direct sunlight. Some plants like Snake Plants and ZZ Plants can tolerate low light, while others like Croton need bright light to maintain their colors.
Too much water: Yellow leaves, mushy stems, soil that stays wet for days.
Too little water: Drooping leaves, dry soil, brown crispy edges. Always check the soil moisture before watering!
Great beginner plants include Snake Plants, ZZ Plants, Money Plants (Pothos), and Peperomia. These plants are forgiving and can bounce back from common beginner mistakes like overwatering or underwatering.
You can increase humidity by: grouping plants together, using a pebble tray with water, misting plants regularly, using a humidifier, or placing plants in naturally humid areas like bathrooms.
Repot when you see roots growing out of drainage holes, the plant is top-heavy, or growth has slowed significantly. Spring is the best time to repot, and only go up one pot size at a time.
