“ Over water them and your Garden of Eden can quickly become the new Atlantis , sinking beneath the waves , never to be seen again .”
Under Watering
The effects of under watering a plant become obvious with time . First drooping , then yellowing leaves that wither and begin dropping off . Soil that begins to crack and split until it subsequently hardens . Over time the roots will shrivel up while being squeezed by the ever-compressing dirt as its moisture content wanes , losing their root ’ s ability to transport food and water if there was any . Pretty simple . No water and eventually the roots dry up and die , taking the plant with them . Plants are quite resilient though and sometimes a good drink is enough to bring them back from a moribund state . A tumbleweed can blow around the desert for nearly a hundred years without water ( true ) and should it get blown into a puddle or get rained on , can begin to grow again .
Over Watering
For the most part , we know what roots do and how they function . I won ’ t bore you with all the Latin names . Over watering is under watering ’ s evil twin , who , in the end , delivers the same result : the eventual death of the plant . Thankfully , this tragedy can be avoided with just a little common sense and a moisture meter . Moisture meters work great and will tell you exactly when your plants need watering . It ’ s nearly foolproof . Indoor gardeners particularly , and inexperienced growers especially , are most likely to over water their plants . Experience is a marvelous teacher , and should you lose some precious plant due to too much water , you probably won ’ t make that mistake again . That said , it is an interesting dichotomy that over watering can mimic the effects of under watering .
