– Skip the watering only if you get more than 2 hours of steady rain on that scheduled watering day. – If your plant begins to lose leaves or if the color begins to fade call a professional. – Water more frequently if it is very hot and dry for several days. – Plants can differ greatly in the amount of water they need, this method will be effective for most plants but many varieties may need significantly more or less water it is always helpful to discuss your plant selections with a professional. – Need more help or information?
