- Watering is one of the most difficult aspects of houseplant care to get right and is the most common reason why people run into problems with their plants. This video covers how I water my houseplants to keep them thriving and healthy.
I also cover 9 of the most common mistakes people make when watering houseplants, and how to avoid them. Watering indoor plants is a bit of an art that takes a combination of knowledge and experience to get right.
A lot of people end up learning from their mistakes when it comes to watering. I'd like to share some of the mistakes I've made and that other people commonly make, so you can keep your houseplants healthy.

I'm very new to owning house plants I've always loved the look of plants in a home I feel it just makes ur home feel more warm I've got 5 plants 3 are flaming katy and I have a venus flytrap but have only just started that so I'm just waiting to see life lol I just hope I do OK with them all but thank you so much for all the advice you give in your videos its nice that you explain things in so many ways and reasons for them 😊
Good info, very informative. I now think I may be causing brown spot on my plants by misting them so much. I couldn’t understand why this was happening to a few of my plants. I’m gonna cut out the misting and use a humidifier instead. Thanks
As a complete beginner to plant care and even watering, this was exactly what I needed to know omg. Did not know about bottom watering, not misting the foliage, and how a too big pot can lead to the soil staying wet for too long whoaaaa.
Can you do a video on the best way to repot plants without giving it too much shock? I had a really root bound Bonnie spider plant that I think I did too much to and I hope it lives ahhhhh
I've been watering an anthurium with ice cubes based on another site's advice. Maybe that's why its 2 spathes are puny and wrinkled. Thanks for this in depth presentation.
Great tips. Thank you
I have always thought that it is better to water the plants where they are instead of taking them to the kitchen back and forth which I understand can upset them.
So what do you think of watering where they are? Just put water in the tray that they are resting on.
I have put my peace lily into a larger pot. I now understand why the leaves are turning black. I have probably watered too much. However I let it go 1-2 weeks before watering and the soil seems fairly moist. Must be for the larger pot keeping too moist.

I have a question about repoting plant. I repot several. Now I have hoya pubicalyx. I will change it soil in more appropriate for it, more perlite, cactus soil... now it is in too dense soil, doesn't grow up and I will after that fertilize it with organic fertilizer... I have it since august last year and nothing hapend, not a new leaf, nothing at all... so frustrating, I mean it look the same.... My question is:would you repot it before or after watering?
Can you do a video on humidity. How do keep your ants at proper humidity?
Hi Nicolle
I'm planning a video on humidity, and what works best to improve humidity. It will hopefully be up soon :)
@@smartgardenguide2550 I use a pebble tray and humidifier and found such a difference in my plants!
