You should make a video of TOP PLANT APPs… I really like BLOSSOM. These apps are good for keeping track of your plants, watering, fertilizing, repotting, where in the house it is (room), and a lot more…
Overwatering is not about giving too much water, it's the frequency that you water - that matters 🤔
Fantastic advice! Now I get it! 😃
Great stuff 👍
Thats why I use a hybrid of watering. I top water, but then il leave all the additional water in the pot for 20-30 minutes, so the roots that did not recieve water can drink up from bottom. I make sure to empty the pots after that time so they dont root drown. Little more time consuming but worked well so far for me. Also what alot of people dont get for outdoor plants a splash of water isnt a thing of nature, when it rains it usually rains for 15 minutes at minimum, up to hours. So u need to try to replicate that to deeply water the soil.
Great comment!
I also use a hybrid method. It has worked out well specially for my succulents.
I know I'm 11 months late, but I agree with the hybrid watering method.
My trick is to water a bit less, but twice in the same hour or two. First I water all of my plants with about a third of the water they need, this gives the soil of each plant some time to hydrate first, then I go through all of my plant a second time to give them the rest of the water they need so that more water reaches the roots instead of flowing through those dry crevaces.
and you save water too.. i do this also..i do 2nd or third watering specially if the weather is hot and dry..
Nice way of doing it
Yes! I’m working on that, when I notice that the soil is dry enough that the water just pools on top. I also then use the label to poke holes in the soil and break it up just a touch, so the water goes down, not just spreading out.
It feels as much an art as a science!
Literally figured out I was doing this when I bought a moisture meter last week, per your suggestion.
Also, now realizing that the peace Lily in my daughters room isn’t over crowded a month after being repotted…I’m just dehydrating it! 😬
It's a game changer 😁
As a plant addict of over 40 years, worked in a wholesale nursery and done a RHS course, I am still learning new things. Cheers😊
Glad to help!
Do you have a camera in my house that you turn on every Saturday?! 😂 You described this particular plant parent precisely! But, I’m learning, and the moisture meter has helped a lot. And I paid the mortgage today so my ZZ plant gets a drink! 😉 Thanks for all your great advice! 😊
Great stuff 👍 thank you!
Your choice of pictures and video clips accompanying this video are excellent at demonstrating the points you are making, especially root growth. Very helpful video. Thank you. 😊❤
Thank you very much!
LOVE @PlantswithKrystal!! Thanks for shouting out her channel.
I’ve been following your advice with bottom watering and using the moisture meter, and I discovered I was both overwatering and underwatering. My plants are much happier and darker green. Thanks so much!
That is awesome!
From time to time, dunking your plant pots in a bucket or tub full of clean water and leaving them in there for around 15 minutes, especially if you have unglazed terracotta pots, works well too. I do it even for my cacti and succulents and they absolutely love it. But again, frequency is the key here.
I like it!
I do the same and rarely have a problem with spider mites.
I totally undestand you. I don´t gift plants, I gift moisture meters. However, sadly even upon explaining how awesome it is and how to use it, some still haven´t started using it, and do exactly what you describe. But the ones that do use it, were telling me many times how awesome it is and how they were overwatering.
Even the ad is really well placed & cool👍
Thanks! Keep spreading the word 😁
I used to overwater after only seeing that the top of the soil was dry, mistaking that it was time to water again. Took months for me to learn to it takes longer for moisture further down to dry out, just like you said. I finally stopped killing plants a few months ago after learning that alone, lol. Whenever I have a garden again, I'd love to look into that RainPoint product. Thank you for sharing these videos. There's always new things to learn!
Thanks for watching 😁
As someone with a 1m² balcony COVERED in plants, I have to say that it's not always possible to implement deep watering even though I do agree that it's the best way to ensure sufficiently saturated soil.
My issue with my balcony is that I grow in containers and in the summer heat the soil dries up quickly while the plants would drown in the colder months. So I need drainage holes in the bottom to ensure that my balcony doesn't turn into a swamp when it rains. But that also means that I can't water my plants deeply since I'd waste water, annoy my downstairs neighbours, and also would just slightly moisten up the sides bc the water runs off before it seeps into the soil (as perfectly portrayed in the video).
So for my containers on the balcony I have to water once - during heatwaves even twice - each day to ensure the soil stays moist to take in enough water. It's a bit of a gamble really... too much and the water runs off, too little and it gets hard to fully saturate them to a point where they take in enough water before they dry up and die. I'm handling it well so far, rather risking some water runoff occasionally.
I only have plants on my balcony that want wet soil so this obviously doesn't work with aloe vera or any other plants that hate wet soil. I definitely agree that deep watering helps root development, just doesn't work with container gardening sometimes. Just thought I'd share an alternative point of view and see how people feel about it :)
PS: Bottom watering works really well for my indoor plants btw. Aloe vera plants have always been a challenge but now I only check if the leaves are firm and if they aren't, I water them from the bottom for a few days only when the dish is dry and until they are doing well again. This channel has helped me develop a better eye for indoor plants and while I still much rather tend to my vegetable plants, I haven't had a house plant die on me in years and a few times it was thanks to these videos. So thanks 🤗
You've got quite a specific situation and I can see you not wanting to drown your neighbours 😁
l have similar problems , live on the 4th floor ..in central Athens..have mainly succulents on the narrow front balcony as it gets all the morning sun ...I'm not home and am worried about the last heat wave...even they will have suffered in 45° temperature despite the awning.😢
That moisture meter has saved me a couple plants. My most recent save was my Hoya. I definitely planted it in dense soil and almost melted all the roots
It's a good'n
Your outdoor garden is lovely!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful new video
Thanks for visiting
I started to do what the gardeners do in India. I put the hose down, reduce the water to a steady trickle/ low flow and let it rest on the soil. Saturating the soil really well. Then moving to the next batch. My rhoadie is in full sun and doing well. This summer my outdoor plants are doing So much better with this Indian gardener style 😛 last summer so many died. I live in the PNW but summers have been crazy in the last few years.
Once I am financially able I will invest in an irrigation system .
OMG I learnt that mantra from Crystal too 🤣🤣🤣 and I do it saying it out loud Drown that…..
I do that too. Leave my hose in the middle of my bed and go off and do something else for a bit
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes that’s what I do. Front yard, back yard. Mulching, Dead heading, pulling weeds. Just chilling indoors where it is cooler. Multi tasking😛
Aw little shout out to Krystal. I follow both you and her and have learned so much from both of you
She's hilarious
@@SheffieldMadePlants indeed
Krystal is so funny! I follow her too.
Yes! I loved the shout-out to another fellow great plant TH-camr 😊
Hi Billie Us l water my plants in garden near the stem and they really like it. Brought NY hibiscus plant in again this year and wage every day and it is doing much better this year..Thank you for being you. Take care and good lock
Thank you 😊 you too
Good night mr. Plant man, i thank you for information & ideas u giving us about plants i love plants teaching
It's my pleasure
I watched your video 3 weeks ago about bottom watering and I can see difference already since I changed my watering way to bottom watering.Also I feel like saving %50 water and time.
Great to hear!
Using a moisture meter has saved my plants more than once. Well worth the cost.
💯
I am new to house plants. This has helped me. Thank you.
You bet!
Regarding bottom watering, what about newly repotted plants or ones that had root rot?
Nothing wrong with bottom watering newly potted plants. As long as you solve the root rot problem you're fine to bottom water
Wow, I really like the water flow meter, thanks for the discount.
My pleasure 😊
Great informative videos,enjoyed to watch and learned,thanks xx
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m a chronic underwaterer. I love seeing plants in my home, but sometimes I just neglect them. I have moved several of my plants into containers without drainage (ceramic bowls for shallow-rooted plants, cut-up clean plastic bottles for deep diggers,…) and so far they’ve all been okay with it. I’ve always been into bottom watering, but now it’s de facto what happens even as I top-water them. ^^ Of course it only works because I never drown them: I am very aware of what they should look like, what dry soil feels like, and how much each pot should weigh when well-watered.
Sounds like you’ve got it sorted 👍
Great logical advice as usual Richard. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I do learn a lot from Sheffield Made Plants. He's extraordinarily honest. He's telling you the truth.
Thank you 😊
I so enjoy your channel (and your energy!). My husband and I moved from sunny, high-humidity Virginia to chilly, dry, Wyoming where the sun, even in summer, can be low on the horizon, so I'm having to rethink the houseplants that will do well here. Your advice has been very helpful.
Very similar to here then!
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😊
Very good information shared dear
❤👌👌 big like. Very nice sharing.
Thank you so much 😊
Your garden is beautiful! I really like the table and chairs you added to drink a cup of coffee every morning…
Thanks so much! 😊
My jade and sansi are doing well. Just had a sansi pup appearing, so thanks for the videos, Richard 🙏
Fantastic!
Watching from Antigua
Good info! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I was taught to soak my plants when dry for about 20 minutes, by placing the pot in a bowl of water or something similar, rather than watering it from top or bottom, because it should be soaked thoroughly but never be standing in water for longer than that.
I’m not a big plant person, so I don’t know if that’s the best way, but it seemed to work well for my grandmother 😊
That’s the bottom watering he’s talking about. I use a big (wide) basin and do 3 or 5 plants at a time this way. It saturates the soil so the soil really absorbs the moisture, rather than just having water run through it.
That's the way i prefer 😁
I love your videos. But one thing about the bottom watering: In tropical countries, like Brazil, it is not safe to bottom water the plants because of the risk of insects putting eggs in the water, such as Aedes Aegypti.
Nice stand of hosted!
Good advice
Thank you 😊
Hi Shef! The watering system looks great, so convenient, too bad I don’t have a garden! Any hoo- how can I get my Golden Pothos more golden? The gold … not so much. 💖🌎💖🇺🇸😎
More light gives more variegation
7:45 Cute figurines here, they look like something you might’ve brought from Russia, where I’m from 😁
I like having a sneak peek at your house’s decor!
Great spot. Not sure where we got them. It was my wife that picked them out
I think this has been part of the problem with my Peace Lilly. His outside leaves will droop, but his inside leaves stand tall. I bottom water, but I may not let it sit as long as it needs.
Potentially
Thanks for this video. My tendency is to check the soil of the plants I have, both of which can get super dried out before they need watering - catnip and aloe vera. Then my tendency is to water them until water starts coming out of the bottom of the dish. Then I stop watering. I also mist my plants once or twice a week, depending on how and dry it is. I never thought, though, that the watering I'm doing isn't right. I'll have to see if a soil hydration meter is inexpensive enough for me to purchase one so that I make sure they're both getting enough water.
I got the catnip plant just over a year ago and it's made it through the winter. I do need to move it into a bigger pot, which I'll do today. I just needed to get one. I have it out for easy access for my cat. It also makes a good tea and is excellent in salads for me. So I know that I must be doing something right by it if it's made it this long. In the past, my catnip plants always died off. I'm learning more, though, about plant care, and this video has shown me more about good plant care. Thanks again. :)
Great stuff 👍 thank you. The moisture meter is pretty good value for the benefit it gives. Didn't know you could eat catnip
I hooked all of my outdoor plants and containers up to drip irrigation. Now I only water my plants and not the surrounding soil that has nothing there. Saves water and weeds don’t grow so quickly. It was surprisingly easy! The timer turns it on every day or whatever I have it set for and mine has 4 outlets (zones).
I'd love to have a setup like that
@@SheffieldMadePlants my timer is from Melnor, they carry 2, 3, and 4 zone timers. I ordered the drip supplies from drip depot and it was a kit. Everything I needed was there and extras. This is in the US, but they may ship to you.
There are definitely two schools of thought on this, I mainly top water. This way, I can see it come out the bottom. If I bottom water, the bottom can get water logged, and some plants are shallow rooted. My strings of things appreciate being top watered. If I splash some in the container to bottom water, then I have to go back and check that there is no water left for the plant to sit in. Also, I have to check that the soil is moist enough, maybe I have to add more. I want one and done. Our plants thrive either way 😊
No harm in mixing it up
Properly watering outside is getting more and more important where I live as it gets a little hotter and drier every year. Wish people would catch on and start putting in plants that tend to deeper root systems (or otherwise maintain the soil) :p
Very true!
Fill up your sink and submerge your plant's pot until no more or very little air bubbles appear, pull out and let drain. Your frequency of watering will be reduced drastically, just be gentle as you give them the plunge to not wash away a good portion of the top soil. And use a hydrometer!
Quick question for ya, at what point on the hydrometer should i be watering at? I feel uncomfortable waiting for it to hit dry but I also don't want to water too soon!
A great approach!
@@ImMimicute my best suggestion to you, my friend, is take notice of your plants and their individual requirements. A hydrometer is an excellent tool to inform you of the hydration of the soil, and adjusting the watering to the needs of the plant and the environment you are keeping it in. A good place to start is soak on Sunday and take measurements with your hydrometer, record or remember its readings and the effects on the plant throughout the week,and on the following Sunday adjust the watering, etc. according to the information you've gathered. Nearly all of my plants are outside and require different attention than what your indoor plants will, ie: additional light top watering and feeding, etc. I apologize for the generalized information, but as your plants and environments differ from mine it is the best starting point I can legitimately give you. Becoming in tune with your specific plants and care routines for them are individual and specific and most importantly, takes time and experience which you can not buy or gain 2nd hand, so to speak. I hope I've helped more than hindered you.
Now you've got me wondering. I use a water meter and always poke it in at least twice at different places around my plants. I don't water my indoor plants more than weekly, and have had no rotting issues. But am I soaking the root balls properly, to get the best growth?
How much are you drenching the soil?
Hi! I just found your channel and I LOVE it. Can you please make a video on Diffenbachia/Dumb Cane plants? I have one that I started as a clipping from one leaf, and it's now 2.5ft tall with 12 leaves, and I want to be sure I'm keeping it as healthy as possible. Thanks again for your excellent videos!
Sounds like you should be making the video 😁
@@SheffieldMadePlantsHaha thanks!! 😄
When I water through out, it takes too long for the soil to dry out. I guess because of the humidity in TX. I find little drinks daily keeps the roots better
How long is long?
@@SheffieldMadePlants more than 5 days
Once a month, I water all my plants with 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide into 4 parts cool water. My many indoor plants 🪴 love it. It adds extra oxygen into the soil to prevent root rot, fungus, and pests.
Bottom watering.
I should start doing this
Wish you were my friend, getting plants as presents ❤️ sighhh.
😁
All mine get a good drink in the sink. The meter sounds good.
A question about the moisture thing in plants, it looks short, how does it measure what's further down in the pot?
Mine is long enough to reach the bottom of pretty much all my plants
Lately my cacti are eating 2.5l of water a week, west facing window and 25+ degrees somehow dry out even the biggest of my pots despite only repotting this yeat
That's a lot for a cactus!
@@SheffieldMadePlantsI do have a dozen cacti and succulents still they're surprisingly thirsty
Something ive learned on my own is the weight of the container, if the container is light, then it needs water, like a lot, its too dry, but if has medium weight i find thats the best, too heavy is too much water. I tested this with an aloe plant and unfortunately it didn't make it but i learned a valuable lesson. Also i use a long thin stick with a round end to see how much water i need to add. Then i poke hole in the dirt so the water doesn't evaporate from the sunroom my plants live in.
The weight test is a good’n
I too am impatient when watering my outside plants. 🤦🏼♀️
Guilty of giving them a little water every day or two. 😫
Does take a while to be fair
@@SheffieldMadePlants 😌 I'll accept that haha
Thank you for all the great tips! Do you wait until the moisture meter reads dry on ALL of your plants before watering again, even ones that like a lot of moisture?
In the dry zone is good enough
The only plants I water daily are the ones outside that experience 40c+ weather and I only bottom water them to help them get through the heat, I also mulch them as well and they love me for it (keep in mind if you do this make sure to check them twice a day if not more cause plants with tell you if they had too much) spicy peppers loves this as well since they love warm weather but they don't like it too hot but with afternoon shade and extra water it's on round 2 of pepper production
Sounds good 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants I had 10 peppers off my plant already from doing this and I need to repot it for next season but I'm waiting until it's done
i started to experiment more with bottom watering after i bought a moisture meter.
since i use a very airy soil mixture i was on the assumption that it doesnt really work since my soil isnt really pulling all that much water from the bottom at all and the water level basicly stays around the same. how ever when using an moisture meter, i can see that the soil indeed is pulling water. its just that it doesnt pull a lot and after a good soak the soil inside is sitting somewhere in the green ''moist'' area. it doesnt get WET like it gets when flushing with water from the top, it waters more suddle and i probably need to bottom water more often than i need to top water because moist to dry takes a lot less time than wet to dry.
but thats doesnt mean its a bad thing right? because thats probably whats causing overwatering because the plant cant dry out a complete wet pot fast enough. if that means i have to water a little more often, thats fine.
It’s a gentler option and like you say probably does require watering more often
Nice vid
Thank you 😊
Wow, you’re eventually answering so many of the questions I’ve had for so many years. Just one thing I’m wondering about. You’re obviously in Europe and I’m in the US so some of the products that you’re speaking about are they also in the US or available in the US?

How many are we doing it on Saturday 😅 ?
Sir, what is the case for those Dormant succulents?
Especially during the rainy season, should they be watered them when bone dry? Despite having a fairly Good draining soil causes the leaves to become mushy.
So, should I only water the succulents when the leaves turn wrinkly? for most of em are hybrids.
I water mine when soil is very dry and leaves are starting to wrinkle a bit
I just watched your lovely video about watering succulents and my all doubt have been cleared.
Thank you, for your valuable suggestion Sir. Much appreciated 🙏👍
Completely off topic but can you give me advice please Richard ? So my rubber plant which had 3 plants in one pot isn’t looking good . One think plant died but now the other two plants aren’t looking good too . New leaf is thin and small and the rest of the leaves are drooping. I checked the roots today and removed the dead plant . It all looked ok . After not knowing what to do I put it outside in the rain hoping that will cheer it up . Not sure if it could have thrips as I found one on my orbifolia and a cheese plant . I sprayed them with neem and put them outside in the rain too 😂😂. I’m hoping any passing ladybird will eat any thrips left . Thanks for any advice keely
Hi. Hard to say without seeing it. Is there any mottling on the leaves? Could be a watering issue. Is it getting good light?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I don’t think it was getting a great amount of light as it was placed on the floor away from the window. There’s a couple of brown spots on one leaf but I’ve checked fir insects and didn’t find any . I think it may of been under watered as I use a moisture meter but not sure it was accurate after I checked a monstera today and found some root rot .
I have the issue when watering my plants that I somehow "compact" the soil a lot so that it's very dense. Especially when I do the deep watering. I let the water rinse out above the sink but I think it's not good for the soil. Any advice? :(
That just happens im afraid. Bottom watering alleviates it
I've tried bottom watering, but the top of the soil remains dry, no matter how long I soak. Is that normal, or does that mean the plant is root bound/the soil is compacted?
That's pretty normal and perfectly fine.
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you!
you are right, but you waste to much water in the sink
Water is plentiful here 😁
I count to 50 each plant
Moisture meters can become inaccurate over time with mineral build-up on the probe
But you clean the probe after use right?
@@SheffieldMadePlants If you can keep it pristine forever i guess it could work, i don’t speak from experience but i’ve read that salts can penetrate the probe or it can get rusty which makes it innacurate because these meters measure conductivity of electricity and other things than water can affect that. Like if you clean it with hard water it will stain it eventually from the minerals
@@Daniele63would it hurt it to wipe it off with a cotton ball dipped in vinegar?
@@mememe733 No it wouldn't hurt, it's probably better than tap water, but since you have to do it every time after use, it's simpler to just use your finger and it works just as well. In my opinion
Do you empty all your plant pots after bottom watering? My problem is that I often forget to empty them and then they sit in water for hours!
The next day I do
@@SheffieldMadePlants so it’s ok for them to sit in the water over night? Thanks for your advice
@@EmilyC04 yeah it’s fine
I'm here, I cannot tell a lie, tis I, I over watered the aloe Vera 😭
Hi my name is Nicole and I am a serial waterer.😂
Like it 😁
Parents: tsk.
😅
my neglect keeps my plants alive!!
😅
I feel like bottom watering helps with thoroughly saturating soil
Edit: I didn't finish the video when I said this...
👍👍👍
Was that really your parent or did you grab a stock photo? They're cute either way!
I don't bring any of my downstairs plants to the sink BC I'd have to carry them all through the house. I do water fast though. Meaning, I pour water on the top so it's covering the top and then I wait for it to show in the tray. If about 10 seconds go by without any water in the tray they get it again. That usually is enough to cause some water to go through. Then, depending on the plant and quantity in the tray I often just leave it and then it's gone later. So I guess it's a top water turned bottom water. I have some plants that aren't in the greatest soil so I'm far more careful BC I know if I fully saturate it will lead to evil 😧 those plants however tend to be bottom watered so their soil can suck up the water evenly as otherwise I would prob be like your mom and fearfully splash them 😜
Example, my Thai came in cocoa fiber and it's really light and fluffy but it never really dries out. I bet I only water it monthly. I should repot but it is actively growing and it was an expensive plant that has a warranty which is voided if I repot. I'm it's case, it's frustrating me but it's not broken and the plant is doing excellent so a repot would be for the purpose of putting my mixture and not BC it's compacted or soggy or failing to thrive...
I like the hybrid approach! That was a cheeky stock photo 😂
@@SheffieldMadePlants haha 😂
This plant are very mistaken?
I don’t care for crystal
Keeping plants is harder than raising a baby!! lol
Tell me about it!
whoops, i fall into the same category as your Mum by splashing water onto my plants without checking them first & to make you cringe even more i don't have drainage holes in my pots #CanWeStillBePlantFriends?
😂 sure
If you have the right potting mix you have no risk of over watering
Not sure I agree with that entirely
I’m convinced you’re just looking for different ways to talk about bottom watering … I mean how many videos are going to lead to talk about bottom watering! We get it!
Please don't waste water on lawns.
How do we saturate the roots if our pots are big? I can’t carry big pots to my bath tub. 😅 The only way for me is watering until the water starts to leak on the plate below. Also, that moisture meter you shared is a life saver. I am using it now and it is soooo much easier to figure when to actually water the plants. 😻🥹
I guess bottom watering will be your best friend for very large plants. Glad you like the moisture meter
