Planta’s advice is usually wrong it usually over or under watering plants

#### Nina’s Garden antwoordde op 2025-04-06

Very true. I always make sure to do what I’m comfortable with

Don't be too hard on planta. They make good educated guesses but they are dealing with so many habitats, environments, and climates it would be all but impossible to get everything right.

Even though it has a schedule on when to water Mack sure the plant is not getting to dry or wet depending on what plant you have, Make sure to research the plant you have. Last thing it to Make sure you have fun!!!

#### Nina’s Garden antwoordde op 2025-04-06

Yes. I always sometimes don’t listen but I usually follow the schedule regardless lol

How do you buy plants from Planta? Do you have to be a premium member?

### Ashley reageerde op 2025-04-06

I don’t water based on Planta’s recommendation, but rather to check the plant to see if it needs water. I have an extensive collection of plants and it is a very helpful reminder

#### Nina’s Garden antwoordde op 2025-04-06

Yea. I’m always scared to mess up

#### Ashley antwoordde op 2025-04-06

Don’t be afraid to mess up. It’s a learning experience and an ongoing journey. You will get the hang of it.

I would say as a good rule of thumb, overwatering is not the amount of water you give it it's the frequency of the waterings. If watering is an issue I'd recommend getting a moister meter. I got mine for like 5 bucks on Amazon it's actually really helpful too me l. I don't really like to shove my fingers in the soil all the time lmao

#### Nina’s Garden antwoordde op 2025-04-06

I might do that
