How do we water our plants? What do we need to think about when we are determining to water our plants or not? These are some of the fundamental questions we need to ask ourselves and understand if we are to water our plants correctly!
If we underwater or overwater our plants that means they are not living in the best equilibrium possible, and are thus not growing their very best. There are a number of different things I like to think about when I get a new plant that helps me to determine how often I should be watering it. In this video I seek to break down all these questions so you can go forth and water your plants with confidence! #houseplants #tropicalplants #indoorgarden
My new favourite plant guru. I like his delivery, and good advice
So nice of you :)
I've been taking care of houseplants for close to 50 years. Just bought a moisture meter! Game changer!
Ooooh I’ve never used one before!
Only found this channel a few weeks ago, I love your videos! As someone who is both a plant parent and biology major in college I love how you include both aspects of plant care!
Thank youuu!! I wish I had more scientific info to share!
Kudos, hands down the most informative and comprehensive watering video I have ever seen. Those little cues you emphasize from knowing the plants geographic origins and all the others to determine moisture needs are immensely helpful. You even taught this "old timer" a thing or two. Much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it! Also glad you appreciate the direction I took the video and that it made logical sense 🙏
Interesting! Always look forward to Sundays!
awwww thank you for your support!!
LOVE your vids! Yesssss, finally someone who believes watering a little less to avoid fungus gnat outbreaks makes total sense!!! People think I'm crazy. 😉
Haha so many people asking me why i don't give it a nice deep watering....have YOU ever had an apartment full of gnats? I'm glad we're on the same team lol
Not sure why but I really like the way you present information. Very easy to grasp and insightful at the same time. Thank you. I too love plants.
Thanks John, that makes me happy to hear!
so much good information packed into 21 minutes!
Thank you so much for watching!!
Fabulous video! It just made sense how you water your plants!! Many Thanks!!🙏🏾
Sweet!! Glad it was helpful!
This was really helpful thank you. I wish I had this when I was first starting with my planties
Thank you for your kind words!! I wasn’t sure if the video would be helpful or not so that makes me happy to hear
I LOVE the advice on visualization! I am a clinical herbalist in training and we talk about this so much. It’s important to visualize the plant thriving in its environment as it could be similar to how that plant helps us thrive in ours. I sent this video to my partner who’s super scared to take care of our houseplants while I’m recovering from a surgery; tips like visualization help people approach with curiosity instead of fear.
Awesome!! I’m glad the visualization was helpful!!
A really nice presentation and a very clear one!
Thank you Danny!
Excellent video!!!! So helpful as I now know what I am doing wrong (a lot!) and what I am doing right (not much! 🤦♀️) about watering my plants! Thanks so much!!
hahaha well i hope it helps you water well now!

Thank you Audrey!
Hi devin, great video, great Information, its nice to See how others make their watering! I love that you also speak to them, i make this too 😇 i water my plants also in small amounts of water and i Look if water is coming from the pot, i read a lot about plants but in the end my Feelings tell me to water and Not, i really enjoyed this video, it was so natural and it was like listening to a good friend who explains everything! I like the Finger test 😁 thx for sharing greetings from austria 😇 🤗
Awww thank you for taking the time to write such kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and have joined the plant vibrations community!
@@plantvibrations ypu are so welcome! I am glad that i found your channel, keep this great work! 👏👏 have a nice Day, greetings from austria 😇 🤗
Very helpful!
Thanks!!
This was super helpful! All points I have been trying to keep in mind. Another factor I consider is humidity. Here in NorthEast Ohio it’s very dry in the house due to the cold and snow. I struggle to keep my bedroom over 40% and the rest of the house is about 30%. I keep bowls and trays of water near my moisture loving plants and I have to do some misting. Must work ok though, my tropical hibiscus and kalanchoe are blooming and my thanksgiving cactus is budding. I even have a lantana that I brought indoors in the fall and it is thriving! It even bloomed last month!
whaaa?! you have a lantana that is thriving indoors?!! that is amazing. i have a calibrachoa inside that is dying a slow death at the moment....
Hello! Loved the video and your approach to watering. You have inspired me to get to know my plants better in order to take better care of them. Your plant room is awesome! I would love to have one of those in my house! Keep up the great work!
My plant room brings me so much joy! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I wish I was in Colombia right now 👍
seriouslyyyy!! me too
thank you for this!! i just got two cyclamen which are known for getting root rot
check out the video i did on cyclamen!
Hi Devin! Thank you for these videos, they are very helpful. Question: Is it better to water house plants in the day or evening...or does it even matter? Thanks!
I always tend to water in the morning but I don’t think it really matters unless your home gets substantially cooler at night
Hi Devin. I found this helpful. At the end of the video you were sitting at the table. What is the name of the plant in the background and what are its requirements? I believe I have it and it isn’t doing very well. Only 2 leaves hanging in there. I am getting some new growth. Hope you can help me! Thank you!
the fern? the main thing with that is to keep the soil moist alllll the time. they don't like going dry
@@plantvibrations oh thank you! Hopefully I can save it! 🪴🤞🏽
chill devin we are not cool like that 0:00

I have a question about watering: is it suggested to water on top, or alternatively, to put some water down (like in a pot with no holes) and then place a plant inside a pot with holes so they soak it up? (Please correct me on my language since I really don't know the names of things!)
Haha you’re good! I recommend watering on the soil. And depending on the plant you can let water remain in the base of the pot or if it’s a more dry loving plant it would be best to remove any excess water accumulation
What about money trees I have in pottery barn containers that have like a cup size hole in center but then spread out they did great than started dying and rotting ..😞bad vibes in house ? Or ennergy
I don’t think bad vibes or energy!
I know what you did in 1985
Lol
1:05 you mean to tell me he hasn't researched EVERY plant ever?????? L planter
Haha
