Should I water my plant today?
Do not start with the calendar. Check the potting mix, the clearest leaf signal, and whether excess water can leave the pot. Together, those clues make a much better decision than “it’s watering day.”
What this check can—and cannot—tell you
Dryness, leaf changes, and drainage are useful observations, but different species tolerate different moisture levels. A cactus and a fern can give different answers in the same room. Use this result as a next step, then confirm the normal care range for your species.
