HOW MUCH WATER?
Knowing your plants’ water preferences is crucial. To make it simple, determine if they’re ‘dry’ or ‘moist’ types. DRY TYPES are cacti, succulents and others such as Zanzibar gem and snake plant. They enjoy dry soil and watering them once or twice a month can be enough. Moist types are usually understorey tropical plants such as monstera and rubber plant that come from humid, tropical climates and love the low light and warmth of indoors. When the soil gets dry, water within the next few days. They usually need watering once a week and love humidity in the air.
