florist&#8217;s foolproof method for knowing whether plants need watering or not!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c5b9f348-adfc-47ad-835f-6046562077c9\">If you are&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a budding gardener<\/strong>&nbsp;, it is difficult for you&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to know if your plants need to be watered<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Indeed, it is not an easy task, whether it is winter or summer.&nbsp;The result is that you can overdo the water or overdo the quantity.&nbsp;And you end up with plants that are a little wilted and not at their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-4e2ec7a4-f0f2-42db-880a-0962a814c2d6\">But luckily I asked my florist for advice who revealed&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the practical method to understand if plants need water<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Since then, I have noticed&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a big change<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;because&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>my plants have become green and vigorous.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-a4ab9913-c2f7-4d7d-a828-7ace69f2e32c\">Place your finger into the plant soil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c8564b0e-03cf-4f1f-a8e3-6c4616db034f\">To find out if your plant needs to be watered, one of the most practical tips is undoubtedly to&nbsp;<strong>point your finger into the soil<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;And for good reason, to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>see the moisture level of the soil<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;By placing your finger in contact with the ground, you can immediately feel whether the ground is dry or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-ed9fe4c0-9482-4c3d-9dff-9a798e4df47b\">But be careful, it is possible that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the soil is dry on the surface but moist underneath<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;To do this, you need to push your finger about&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>3-4cm deep into the soil<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;If the soil is completely dry underneath, it means that the plant needs a lot of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-05f58b70-aebb-4734-b63e-fcf5796f5740\">This method works great with&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>small potted plants<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;However, be careful when pushing your finger so as not to damage the roots of the plants.&nbsp;If you have plants in large pots, forget the finger technique and try this other method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-52d2973b-c971-4afe-8c21-dd05526c1850\">Lift the pot to get an idea of \u200b\u200bits weight.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-92941c7a-9090-4392-a7f8-cf9183e9b497\">It may seem strange to you but&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>if you lift your flower pots, you can understand whether your plants need to be watered or not<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;If the pots are heavy, it means that the soil is still moist.&nbsp;Wet soil increases the weight of the pot.&nbsp;However, if you can lift them without difficulty, it means that&nbsp;<strong>they are light and the ground is completely dry<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;At this point, you should think about watering them without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-4f4d93ff-a9a0-4248-8722-dab24c5ed6c0\">If you have a lot of pots, here&#8217;s some advice from the experts.&nbsp;When you have finished watering the plants, lift the pot to see how much it weighs when wet.&nbsp;This way,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it is easier to make a comparison when the jar is light.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are&nbsp;&nbsp;a budding gardener&nbsp;, it is difficult for you&nbsp;&nbsp;to know if your plants need to be
