Watering: Difference between revisions

A lot of beginners struggle with under/overwatering, and to add to the confusion, in both cases the plant with wilt. To ensure proper watering plants should be watered until there is some drainage from the pot. Fabric pots provide the best drainage as long as they are raised from the surface they are sitting on.

 

The pH of the water should be between 6.2 and 6.7. If it's too high for too low, the nutrient intake will be blocked. This is an especially important rule to observe when using nutrient formulas as to not waste them! It's important to note that pH is a logarithmic scale, meaning that 6 pH is 10 times more acidic than 7 pH.
