QuestionHow much water should a plant receive daily?Lindsey Swett is a Plant Specialist and the Owner of Niche Plant Shop in Boston, Massachusetts. She has over a decade of experience working in several plant settings, including golf courses, public parks, and commercial garden centers. Her focus now is on helping plant owners care for their indoor plants. Lindsey holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from The University of Michigan.Plants usually do not need to be watered more than once a week. I usually tell people to start with watering once a week, since the plant needs to be able to receive the water and utilize it once the soil dries out. Only then you should water it again. Try to wait and understand the time that it takes for your plant to utilize the water so you know the best schedule to water it.
