I’m sort of surprised at how little Planta is telling me to water Leilani. I check her soil and if the top two inches or so is dry, I was told she needs water. However, the app has me going every 15-20 days and that seems wrong. Anyone else have this issue?
No actually, looking at the plant it seems pretty large and substantial. Especially with it being winter, I would say that’s about right. Pothos are pretty drought tolerant and I wait to water my big global green once it’s dry all the way to the bottom.
8 Mi piace Gotcha. I was doing that before and she was SEVERELY under-watered and started to turn yellow drop leaves like nobody’s business. It is winter though, so I guess it makes sense.
0 Mi piace She used to be HUGE (that’s her on the right) and then I repotted her, and she went into shock and then was under-watered so I’m super anxious about her growing back properly. Thank you for the reassurance!
I agree with Alyssa. I wait till they’re 90-100% dry before watering. Another good sign pothos need water is they’ll curl their leaves. Usually takes a day after watering for them to uncurl. BUT they’ll also curl if they’re overwatered, so only go by this sign if you know the soil is dry.
4 Mi piace My marble queen does the curl and as soon as I do about 1/4 cup of water, her leaves flatten back out 🤭

All my Epi have longer watering times once winter hit
1 mi piace Oh that’s so helpful! I traveled a lot this year (over 80%!) so I was using Planta to keep an eye on things while I was gone. I feel better knowing that my girls are just going through a normal season
