Step 2: Feel the soil

If the soil feels wet or cool, and you see soil sticking to your finger — don’t water yet.

If your finger comes out almost clean, with little or no soil sticking — it’s time to water.

Step 3: Water slowly

Water slowly, until you see a little water draining from the bottom of the pot.

Step 4 — Remove excess water

Empty any water collected in the plate or saucer underneath the pot after watering.
