How to water indoor plants
Research your specific plants' needs.
Not every type of houseplant has the same watering needs, so educate yourself on the plants you have or are thinking of buying. Don't assume that every plant wants 1 quart of water every two days because all of your plants won't thrive like that.
Some may prefer to have their soil fairly dry most of the time, while others need it moist. Some may need the soil to dry out in between waterings.
