Simple ways to tell when to water your potted plants - learn them and you won't lose out

1. How to tell whether a potted flower lacks water

(1) Tapping method: gently tap the middle-upper part of the pot wall with your finger joint. If it makes a fairly crisp sound, the potting soil is already dry and needs watering immediately; if it makes a dull, muffled sound, the potting soil is moist and you can hold off on watering.

(2) Visual method: look at the surface color of the potting soil to see whether it has changed. If the color has become lighter or turned light grayish-white, the potting soil is already dry and needs watering; if the color has become darker or turned dark brown, the potting soil is moist and you can hold off on watering.

(3) Finger test method: gently insert your finger about 2 cm deep into the potting soil and feel the soil. If it feels dry, or rough and hard, the potting soil is already dry and needs watering immediately; if it feels slightly moist, fine and soft, the potting soil is moist and you can hold off on watering.

(4) Pinching and rolling method: pinch some potting soil with your fingers. If the soil turns to powder, the potting soil is already dry and should be watered immediately; if the soil forms flakes or clumps, the potting soil is moist and you can hold off on watering. The methods above are all rules of thumb; they can only tell you the general condition of whether the potting soil is dry or wet. If you need to know the exact degree of dryness or moisture in the potting soil, you can buy a soil moisture meter, insert it into the soil, and then see words such as "dry" or "moist" appear on the scale, so you can know exactly when to water.
