Get some wooden skewers, nothing fancy. I get like a 100 pack from the dollar store.

When your heart is telling you to water, stick one of those to the bottom of the soil, leave it for a minute or so, then pull it out. Dirt will stick to the skewer at the level of moisture. Giving you a good visual as to if your plant needs water or not.

It also fills the “itch” of tending to your plants :)

Yup I have some thank you for reminding Me!

I always use planta’s watering suggestion as a reminder to check if I need to water them and not necessarily the end all be all.
