Without water there is no life, but it is a mistake to think that the more water you give the plants the better they will grow. In fact, just as important as watering is to do it in the right measure, only when necessary. And it is that, in the same way that human beings do not spend the day drinking, the roots of plant beings do not absorb large amounts of the precious liquid of the earth.
Therefore, If we want to have perfect pots we have to know the importance of watering the plants. And it is none other than the one that I am going to explain to you below.
Plants need to absorb water from the earth through their roots. Only in this way can they carry out photosynthesis (transform the sun's energy into food) and, also, breathe. Water is made up of two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen, so literally all life breathes thanks to it.
Now, do not give them in excess. Although oxygen is vital, too much water is not good either. In fact, in this sense, something similar to what happens to us when we want to hold our breath underneath it for a long time would happen to them: there simply comes a time when we consume all the air that the lungs contain and we are forced to get out to breathe. With the exception of the aquatic ones, the rest have to receive the amount of water they need, neither more nor less.
Now, When do you have to water? It will depend on the type of plant, the location and the climate, but usually it must be done every time the soil or substrate is dry or almost dry. To know this, you have to check its humidity, for example with a digital humidity meter or digging a bit with your fingers. In this way, we are sure that we will not have problems 🙂.
