The most common mistake made in growing plants is over watering. Too much water rots the roots of most plants. Pots should have a drainage hole to let water drain out. Know each plant's different moisture needs: Pot size, room temperature, soil type and species of plant should all be considered in watering schedule. Generally a plant with thin stems and leaves or growing in porous soil, a dry room or a small pot, will need more moisture than a big fleshy leaved plant.
Droopy or yellow leaves or an unpleasant odor are indications of improper watering.
Most plants prefer a thorough watering once or twice a week rather than frequent shallow watering. As a general rule, your plants needs water when you can insert your finger into its soil and feel no moisture. Humidity is also very important since plants absorb water through their foliage as well as their roots. Place plants in a tray of wet gravel or set out pans of water to increase humidity, especially during the dry winter months.
