How’s your houseplants doing? Are they loving or hating our long hot summer?
We know from your questions in the shop that this is definitely a time when your houseplants ask a lot of you. Longer days and hot rooms mean they drink faster, and small watering slips show up quickly.
I’ve pulled together a few notes into a simple guide. Swipe through for the golden rules of checking before you water, how to water properly, why timing matters, and how to tell thirsty from overwatered (because they can look surprisingly alike).
A few things that make summer watering easier:
🌱 Free draining potting mix so roots never sit soggy
🌱 A balanced plant food for the growing season, always water first, then feed
🌱 The right pot for the plant, terracotta dries faster than ceramic or plastic
Everything’s linked in our bio, and the full guide is on the blog if you want the details 💚
