The app schedule is far from perfect. #### Kinleyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました When should I water it. ### Roseさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました Let it dry out a little. Water when the top 1.5-2 inches of soil is dry. #### Kinleyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました I’ve done that I’ve been working on it for over a week ### Roseさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました Does the pot have drainage holes? #### Kinleyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました Yes #### Roseさんが2025-09-07に返信しました Hm. Looks like it gets good light. I’m afraid I’m stumped. Hopefully someone else will chime in with an idea. Good luck! ### Suzanabananaさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました Are you checking deep enough in the soil? I usually stick 1/2 to 3/4 of my pointer finger, and if it feels dry but cold i wait still #### Kinleyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました Thank u ### Suzanabananaさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました Have you checked roots? #### Kinleyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました I have not. How do I go about doing that #### Sunnyさんが2025-09-07に返信しました Pull off the pot. Water if the soil and roots are dry throughout because it’s under watered. Let the soil dry out if the soil is wet because it’s overwatered. The soil will smell swampy and the roots will be mushy if the plant has root rot. The leaves are not showing signs of root rot. But, the rot (if any) must be cut out, the roots disinfected with hydrogen peroxide and the soil replaced if overwatering gets too much. I recommend using the app’s watering notifications only as a reminder to verify the plant needs water or you can quickly kill the plant. Environments, size, soil, water, lighting, etc., are different in each home. The app can’t perfectly predict when your specific plant needs water. Always check the soil for moisture. Check the leaves for a limp wrinkled look or yellowing/dryness. 🪴🍀 #### Nanさんが2025-09-07に返信しました I agree! Mine does this when he needs a bit of water, that’s how he lets me know! Sunny I love your advice always😁 ### Suzanabananaさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました You could also try a moisture meter, its pretty inexpensive for a basic one if you wanna make it easier also ### Wadeさんが2025-09-07にコメントしました A lot of people say check 1-2” and make sure it’s dry before watering, but I’ll go even further than that on some plants to the point of almost fully dry. Also the app says “water until it starts draining” but I water to the point where I think it’s just about to start draining but nothing comes out and my plants are doing great. #### The leafy Angelさんが2025-09-07に返信しました I agree, let it dry out more before watering --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
