It depends on the plant, lighting, and environment. As a general rule, check the soil first (top 1–2 inches dry = time to water). Avoid overwatering! Most plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. We’re always happy to give specific care tips for your plant!
Signs include yellowing leaves, drooping, or mold, often causing root rot.
If leaves wrinkle, the plant is likely thirsty. Use pots with drainage holes to avoid waterlogged soil.
Most houseplants prefer bright, indirect light.
Low light: Snake plants, ZZ plants
Medium light: Pothos, Philodendrons
Bright light: Fiddle leaf figs, succulents
