Do you guys have any tips because the app says I should water the plant every three days but it’s getting dry really fast every day because of the hot sun so do you guys have any tips that I should use?

Do you guys have any tips???

The good thing is that it’s portable and small ☺️ So I would suggest taking out of the direct sun/heat

What is it?

### Terri commented on 2025-06-23

I would mist it in between waterings

If its out in the sun and it dries out every day then try watering it every day. What is it? I can't tell.

If it gets dry, what you do is this--on the main screen, click over to "upcoming," find the next time you're supposed to water, and click. It will ask you if you're watering because it's dry. You say "yes, it's dry." Over time Planta will adjust the watering schedule. But I agree that you need to get it out of the hot sun or it will just fry.

Water when it needs water and not by a strict schedule. Use a chopstick or your finger to stick all the way into the soil to check for moisture. Moist soil feels cooler than the air temperature. Moist soil easily sticks to chopsticks. Water if it’s dry. Water to fully saturate all of the soil. Then, properly drain the pot. 🪴🍀

It's pretty normal for plants to need water every day in the hottest months, and sometimes even water twice a day if it's extremely hot. Keep your little friend properly hydrated and move to a cooler spot if needed
