How often should I water
my houseplants?
It’s important to avoid
overwatering. Only water if
the compost feels dry, and
always allow excess water
to drain away: houseplants
can rot if they sit in water.
Will my houseplants
need feeding?
All houseplants benefit
from a liquid feed during
the growing season (from
March to September). You
can also buy specialist
orchid food to encourage
more flowers. Don’t feed
houseplants in winter,
though, or when your plant
is dormant.
