Hook
Your watering can needs a winter schedule, too.
Steps
- Smaller pots dry faster; larger pots stay wet—adjust frequency accordingly.
- Gritty mixes dry faster; peat-heavy mixes hold water—test with your finger.
- Cool, dark rooms = slower drying; move borderline plants into brighter spots first.
Key Takeaways
- Match watering to pot, mix, and light.
- When in doubt, check deeper in the pot—not just the surface.
- Brighter light is the safest fix for slow-drying soil.
