5 Quick tips on watering your indoor plants
Today we share you 5 quick tips on watering your indoor plants, this will apply to almost any type of tropical indoor plants.
Tip number one
Always use drainage holes in your pots, this is the easiest way of you not over watering your plants.
PlantsRobot's smart planter is equipped with a water-absorbent cotton layer at the bottom, which provides water to the plant roots through bottom-up absorption, ensuring that the roots never sit in water and thus preventing root rot.
Tip number two
Use a higher outer pot than the inner pot of your plant. Add gravel stones to the bottom of this pot. It really doesn't matter to add something to the bottom that raises the inner pot inside of the outer pot.
This is a fail safe way to make sure that you never have your plants standing in water because when you water this, the excess water will go through the drainage holes in the bottom and down into the gravel or into the stones in the bottom. And you add to the humidity around the roots so that that's just an added bonus.
PlantsRobot's smart planter features an inner pot and a water reservoir. Placing the inner pot into the water reservoir prevents the roots from sitting in water, thereby avoiding root rot.
Tip number three
How often should you water your plants well the easiest way of answering that question is use your finger check the soil when it's time to water. Just use your finger push it down into the soil like this when the soil is dry one to two inches or two and a half to five centimeters down into the pot then you know that it's safe to water

PlantsRobot's smart planter continuously monitors the current soil moisture and, based on the plant's biological needs, it adorably reminds users to water at the optimal time with cute emojis.
Tip number four
How much water should you give your indoor plants that is an impossible question to answer but find a frequency of how often you water that is good for your plant use drainage holes use your finger to feel the soil when it's time to water.
So find a good frequency depending on how fast your plants are drinking that water.

Tip number five
If you get problems with your indoor plants where you get brown and yellow tips of the leaves like this it could be a problem with your water.
If your tap water has too much trace minerals such as chlorine fluoride or sodium in it they can cause these types of problems on your leafs tips.
What is happening is that they are getting sucked up by the roots and they're transported in the plant and then they are pushed out to the tips of the leaves here where they accumulate and when there get to be too much of these trace minerals. Here the cells actually die.
You can take your tap water and just put it in a bucket a vase or in a watering can and just leave it in that for at least 24 to 48 hours by doing that most of those trace minerals will be evaporating from that water theywill disappear so then it is safe to water your plants.
Another thing you can do is that you could use distilled water as well you can also use rainwater or filtered water that has taken away those trace minerals and of course you can also use bottled water but that might not be the most environmental friendly way of doing that.
