Talking Re: Help my plants have the crud!

Hard to say. I hate to give a certain amount or certain frequency because our growing conditions could be very different. I watch the plant and not the soil. Meaning, observe the condition of the plant, it will tell you what it needs. It will droop a bit when it gets thirsty and will bounce back from under watering much faster than over watering. Ya ever shop for plants at Wally World? You know when you chance it and buy one of there bone dry droopy one's. Take it home, water it, and it perks back up. But if you buy the same plant in early spring when the temps are cool and they've been drenching them everyday they croak. I saw em kill at least 4 pallets of Majesty Palms this year! It's kinda hard to get the hang of but when you do, the difference is amazing. Do be careful with organic mix, It holds moisture so far down in the pot. But when it's hot it will pay off. So take all that as you will, every gardener is different. Just my 2 cents.-Nate
