5 HOUSEPLANTS YOU'RE PROBABLY WATERING TOO OFTEN
1. Snake Plant
Let the soil dry completely before watering again.
2. ZZ Plant
Stores water in its rhizomes, so it prefers drying out between waterings.
3. Ponytail Palm
That thick base stores water, making this one very drought tolerant.
4. Dracaena
Let about the top half of the soil dry before watering.
5. Pothos
Wait until the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry.
THE GOAL ISN'T TO WATER ON A SCHEDULE. IT'S TO WATER WHEN YOUR PLANT ACTUALLY NEEDS IT.
