After understanding the impact of different environments on flowers and the various factors affecting watering, how can we correctly judge whether our flowers need watering?
Below are 4 tips to judge the moisture level of potting soil. Learn these 4 skills and apply them, and watering flowers will become much simpler.
Methods to Determine Whether to Water Potted Plants
1. Look
Observing the color changes of the potting soil is one of the common methods to judge its moisture level. When the surface of the potting soil turns white, it indicates that the soil has dried out and it's time to water.
Besides observing the color changes of the potting soil, we can also judge whether the plant is lacking water by observing the state of its leaves.
If you find that the leaves of the plant are wilted, soft, and lack luster, it indicates the plant is short of water and should be watered as soon as possible.
2. Touch
Sometimes, different potting soil formulas can lead to different color changes, which may be hard to distinguish with the naked eye. In this case, I suggest you use your hands to touch.
Touch the surface of the potting soil and the position 2cm below it to feel the moisture. If there is no moisture left, it's time to water.
Besides touching the potting soil, you can also touch the leaves of the plant. When the leaves feel thin, soft, and dry to the touch, it indicates that watering is needed.
3. Listen

Listening refers to the sound of tapping the pot. If the sound is crisp, it means the plant is short of water, while a dull sound indicates that the potting soil still contains more moisture.
This method is more challenging for beginners, just like picking watermelons. Those who know how to pick will get good ones, while those who don't, will find that all the sounds are the same. Do you feel that way?反正绿植迷网 thinks so, 绿植迷网 never picks watermelons by themselves...
4. Lift
The method of lifting the pot is the simplest. Our balcony flower pots are relatively small, so you can lift the pot before and after watering to feel the weight. If the pot becomes significantly lighter, it means it's short of water.
The method of lifting the pot is suitable for small pots. If you are using a large pot, it certainly won't apply.
In the beginning, 绿植迷网 suggests that you combine the touching and lifting methods. After a few times, you will be able to master the timing of watering.
After learning how to judge the moisture level of potting soil and finding the best watering time, we also need to know: how to water potted plants, what methods to use, what kind of water to use, and when to water?
