5 Tips on Watering Your Plants from an Indoor Landscaping Professional in Pensacola

Were you one of the many who decided to add greenery to your home or office space at the start of the new year? If your thumb isn’t quite as green as you’d like it to be by now, that could very well be due to the fact that you aren’t watering your plants in the right way. A provider of indoor landscaping services in Pensacola, FL, is here with 5 tips on how to make sure that you are watering your plants correctly.  

First, you are going to want to make sure you have utilized your planting pots correctly. This means that you should not fill your pots all the way up with soil, but instead, leave at least one or two inches of open space from the top of the soil to the top of the pot. By doing so, you can pour water over the soil and let it drain down naturally rather than just using drips of water here and there out of fear of overflowing the soil over the sides of the pot.  

Second, you must remember to empty the water trays under your pots. If you let your plants sit in water (unless they are bog plants), they could develop root rot, which is a lethal condition to plants. So, always remember to water your plants, let the water have time to drain down through the soil into the water trays, and then empty the water trays. You might even want to set a timer for yourself later in the day to help you remember to do so.  

Third, water the soil, not the entire plant. This is because some plants don’t thrive and can actually end up developing fungal disorders from wet leaves. To combat this issue, purchase a long-neck watering can and pour water only at the top of the soil line.  

Fourth, it’s always helpful to group like plants with like plants. Some plants are going to require more water than others, just as some require more direct sunlight. So, grouping the plants together that need the same amount of water will help ensure that you are always watering your plants correctly. 

Fifth, don’t let yourself get too stressed out and end up overwatering your plants. All you need to do is set a reminder or alarm on your phone or computer to water certain plants at certain times of the day or the week, and your plants will begin to thrive!
