i have been watering my ficus once a week, but tbe watering schedule has now changed to every 2 days. is it because the weather is getting hotter?

If it’s already hot where you are and this plant lives outside then yes! Although I’d still recommend you check the soil yourself before watering. I’m personally against strict watering schedules

I would stick to waiting at least 7-11 days before watering your ficus. You can enter your ficus’s individual settings and change it to a custom watering schedule to wait as many days as you’d like before watering it. Hope this helps.

Hey Ingrid!

Yes as it gets hotter we will have to water more frequently

Always check the top soil or use a moisture meter before watering.

Ingrid looks fabulous ❤️
