How can I tell if my plants are getting enough water

Sure! Here are six different ways to tell if your plants are getting enough water:

**Check the Soil**: Stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, it’s time to water. If it’s still moist, hold off for a bit.

**Look at the Leaves**: If the leaves are drooping or turning yellow, your plant might be thirsty. Healthy leaves should be firm and vibrant.

**Weight Test**: Lift the pot when it’s dry and then again after watering. You’ll get a feel for how heavy it is when it’s properly watered.

**Wilting**: If your plants look like they’re wilting, they’re definitely in need of some hydration. They should perk up after a good drink!

**Check for Cracks**: If you see cracks in the soil surface, it’s a sign that the soil is too dry. Time to water!
