How do I know if a flower is suffering from a lack of water?

Gardening can become a hobby for you, which you can turn into a real art. We will enjoy every plant grown by our readers and will encourage you in your efforts.

However, the first concern of any novice gardener is probably how to understand how often a plant needs water. Here are the basic rules.

To grow most indoor plants, it is enough to water them once a week. Those who grow on your terrace in the summer will probably need watering during the day, if not daily.

To find out if a plant is experiencing a lack of water, it is best to touch the soil in which you grow it. If it is too dry, then the plant probably needs water. However, we ask you to read the following lines, because there are plants that do not like water as much as their other counterparts.

Orchids are slightly different from other flowers. Have you ever wondered why they are sold in transparent pots? This way you can trace the color of their roots. When they become too whitish, it means that the flowers need water. Another oddity about them is that you don't have to water them directly from above, but pour the water into a bowl or pot that you bought for growing them.

There are 2 options for watering them. You can add water to the bottom pot once a week, allow the roots of the plants to soak and drain the water after about 1 hour so that they do not start to rot. Another option is to let the orchid roots stand for about 12 hours with water, but once every 2 weeks.

Succulents require infrequent watering, usually no more than once every 2 weeks. These are mostly tropical plants whose leaves contain too much moisture. With very few exceptions, they prefer the sun and very careful irrigation. In other words, they manage on their own.

If you grow other plants, cacti will be difficult. And not for anything else, but because they require so little watering that you start to wonder if you're tiring them out. These desert plants will definitely not be pleasant to the touch (we do not recommend it, because there are many varieties of cacti that are also poisonous), but they are perhaps the most unpretentious plants.

If you have a calendar, do not keep track of the days and weeks, but only move on to the next month. Most cacti only need to be watered once a month. And you'll do them more harm if you water them too often than if you forget them. It's just that not all plants need care, no matter how much you want to take care of them.
