When it comes to houseplants and container gardening, the most common questions I get ALWAYS revolve around watering:
– How much water do my plants need?
– How often should I water?
– Am I overwatering?
I decided to put this video out to give you a “watering framework” so you understand how all of the different variables in your environment affect your watering schedule. From air, light, pot type, soil mix, and even specific plants…it all affects how much you should water.
Hopefully this guide helps you learn how to solve your watering problems in the garden. I also include a self watering system you can insert into the bottom of your plant pots to convert any pot into a self-watering pot.
SPONSOR: HYDROBOX
Thanks to Hydrobox, makers of smart watering inserts for containers of all shapes and sizes. Convert your containers into self-watering ones by hydrating and inserting a Hydrobox in the bottom of the pot, then watering in well.

Can you bust the misnomer "cocopeat"? naturally processed sphagnum moss comes from peat bogs, and it's called peat moss because not everyone can pronounce "sphagnum", and coconut coir does not come from peat bogs~
Why don't you bottom water after installing the hydrobox? Why would you top water with it?
I respect Dawkins belief including everyone on his side but it is so ironic and shocking to believe the scientific impossiblity that nothing(nothing at all) created everything nevertheless Dawkins was laughed at by the audience when he made such a senseless claim, we all have made mistakes and there is no one good among us(lie, cheat, steal,porn, lust) and just like a judge whether you believe in justice or not, has to judge the offender and so God will judge you but God made a way for you and me so that we could have life through Jesus Christ who died and payed for your sins(just like someone who pays your fine in a court) and so you can have life Joh 3:16-19 GW 16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. 18 Those who believe in him won't be condemned. But those who don't believe are already condemned because they don't believe in God's only Son. 19 This is why people are condemned: The light came into the world. Yet, people loved the dark rather than the light because their actions were evil. I Am not supporting religion, mormonism, catholicism, etc but about life when you read the bible you will find a huge difference between the bible and religion Please watch this video it will make more sense https://youtu.be/ChWiZ3iXWwM
Curious how the hydro box worked out , stagnant water is never a good thing. Love your vids brother congratulations on hitting a milli
I used to have really bad luck with indoor plants…… until I got a moisture meter. Its changed my life. No more accidental overwatering and rotting plants. I’d recommend it for anyone.

Why is my soil still wet in some of my pots, after months? I feel like I'mma rot the poor things
Water from the bottom like a hydroponic system… It might create an interesting biological system thingy… I may be wrong… But, it sounds like a wick system….
Wow super helpful! No wonder I didn’t have much success with indoor plants in the past. There’s hope!

As a professional farmer of several decades I can say with 100% certainty that over, under watering and inconsistent watering is the #1 problem
