- In this video I explain why plants need water, why they cannot survive overwatering, and also why we should never ever ever water on a scheldule. I share with you 10 factors/variables that determine how often you should water your plants, how to read visual signs/clues, and different ways you can water them. The video is long, as are all my other videos, but they provide tons of insight and tips to help you grow your houseplants with more success.
The 10 factors/variables that determine watering frequency are:
1. The plant species
2. Indoors VS outdoors
3. Soil media
4. Pot type
5. Pot size
6. Plant age/size
7. Light intensity
8. Temperature/humidity
9. Type of water
10. Growing season/dormancy
Tools to measure moisture:
1. Moisture meter
2. Your finger
3. Pot weight
4. Look for visual cues
5. Touch the leaves
6. Experience
How to water plants:
1. Pour water onto topsoil
2. Bottom watering
3. Misting/spraying/hosing down
Extra top:
1. Water in the morning
2. Should you have plants living in less than ideal lighting condition, bring them to a bright and airy area on watering day to let them freshen up.
Revisions: The process in which plants shed excess water by droplets is called guttation, not transpiration.

I don’t know how I stumbled upon this channel, but it instantly has become my favorite plant channel. I’m hooked.
Whoa thank youuu. I loved making content and sharing what I know too.
Me too!! New sub!!! Luv all the videos especially the nursery tours 🍃💜🌿💗🌵
@ The Ben & Banjo Show, same here, this channel just showed up on my screen today July 27. So informative I could not believe it . He is the professor in all the plant world. Love it already.
Thank you for sharing love your chanel.

100s and 1000s youtube channels regarding plants out there and you are the best and the most informative one . Keep up the good work , your videos are daily doses of happiness.
🙈
Where were you ten plant deaths ago 😭😭😭 Thank you so much for posting this! Everything makes so much sense!
I rushed this video actually because I know its much needed!
Finally, a vlog that’s intelligent and suitable for Asia’s hot climate. Thank u and more power.
- watching from PH
So much love from the PH!! You guys are some of the most warm and encouraging. Glad to know we share a similar love for houseplants 🥰
totally agree
Same. some plant care from seasonal countries kinda hard to follow. thank god i found this channel
So true, i am from malaysia which is super hot😂.
RUclips needs your amazing contents about planthouse 🌱 Keep creating more contents.
Wow thank you 🤗
I love the realness... I can't afford that many terracota pots either XD... I use the nursery ones as well. Hola from Mexico.
Hola Mexico. 🤗
I’m Indonesian who lives in Switzerland . RUclips recommanded me your video few weeks back. Am not mad at all, cos now I almost watching all your videos. Please do more videos nursuries tour and shopping plant.. It’s so addicting. Congrats Sean! Your Channel took off.
Oh my god, thank you so much!!
I just wanted to add that another type of water is well water. Water from the ground, so if you have access to this, do give it a try in watering your plants.
Very informative! Thank you
Yeppp ground water. Thats actually what I work in my home. 😅
! That's why you're able to spray your plants down and use it straight out of the hose or the spigot you have some of the best water if you have well water
Wow I can't believe you've only been here a month!! Your videos are such high quality!
Hah thank you. Im actually a photographer...
This is the most thorough walkthrough of watering, especially for new plant parents. Thank you so much.
WOW talk about a lot of information compacted in 1 video THANK YOU SO MUCH for your hard work. I love all of your videos
Thank you 🙌🏻
Good afternoon 🌞 my plant friend I am a old plant mama but I don't know the half about plants thanks for your University I set quite and listen you explain so beautiful and I love your plant I don't see a lot of your plants you highlight in my country Jamaica I love your video thank you very much I will be in your class room I love it you ❤️ are so amazing thank thought your class now I am having some health plant
Wowww thank you so much! Im happy to be connected with people from so far away!
so informative for newbies and veterans alike! Love the longer videos as they go in depth and explain the how and why.
Thank youuu. I was worried about the video length haha
@@onlyplants qqq
Don't stop making videos, ever! You’re explanations are so thorough. Thank you!
Wowww thank youu
Excellent! Very thorough. Thank you! (And I love your humor and notes typed in 😉👍)
Haha thank youu 🙏🏽 appreciate the positive feedback.
You put out the most informative videos and content on RUclips in my opinion. So appreciative of your channel and the time you put into us. Thank you for helping me be a better plant parent!😊
Whoaa thank you so much, that is one powerful testimonial!
Rambling? No way! You were spot on with all of your great information covering almost every basic level of plant care. I just found your channel yesterday, and have thoroughly sunk into your very relaxing and calming presence, and your grounded explanations. Thanks so much!!!
Whoaaa those are big and kind words of encouragements! Thank you thank you thank you 🤓❤️
This is a great video, Sean. What people are dying for is someone who is serious but has a good sense of humor (love those unspoken quips on screen) and is personable. That's you! Congratulations on your increasing subscribers. I see you comment on almost every single comment that is made. Get ready for a full time job doing just that. Of course, it is kind of you and everyone really appreciates knowing that you have actually read the comment. I laugh at each video because of the difference in our growing zones especially regarding humidity. Today it is will be a high of 38C, humidity is higher than usual as this is the "monsoon" (LOL!!) so it is 40%. Normally, we have 10-15% humidity and live in AC 6 months a year. UGH!. Ordinarily, I try to grow plants that are less dependent onl;ambient humidity but now I've bought some that might require a humidifier. That's your fault!!! Looking forward to more excellent videos from you. Watch out Summer Rayne Oakes! LOL!
Oh wow thank you so much Harry! I see your comments in other videos too, I appreciate it. More videos to come!
You are great. As some others have, I stumbled across your videos. I am in Western Australia. I've never commented on any posts I've watched before but I'd like to encourage you to keep posting.
You seem like you really have such good knowledge of plants, I'm very impressed. I have very little and rely on what I see here to help me with my indoor plant journey. Appreciate the time and effort you take to help us lookers and learners 👍
Whoaa thank you that means so much!
I wanted to like this twice. Thank you for making this thorough, informative content - and presenting it in an engaging way 🙌🏽
Whoaaaa thank youu 🤓
This was so helpful. I will not drown any more plants I promise😂
Haha 😅
This is the first time a "how to water your plants" information drop has actually made complete sense. Great channel, subscribed.
Thank you and welcome to the channel 🙌🏻
this is soooo thorough 🤩 i cannot thank you enough
😀
I watched your video from our TV where I am not signed in.. so, I am
writing this comment from my phone just to say amazing video!! Very very helpful, love the analogy!! Keep it up! Love love love,,,,,
Wowww thank youu. Thats really sweet of you to do that!
Thank you for your videos. Your love for plants and your knowledge is amazing! You are so personable and comfortable!
I'm really appreciating your channel and I've subscribed! I've killed many plants in the past but I really want to start with one or two indoor plants and hopefully can keep it/them alive. This channel is very helpful and informative. It's exactly what I'm looking for and you make it fun.
Thank you so much! I hope you have a good start in your journey. Get a moisture meter! It will help you build confidence
This is probably the most thorough and easy to follow information on plant watering that I've seen. You didn't overcomplicate the process and showed a variety of plants with their watering needs. I actually watched it twice (with the ads!) because it was that good.
Wowww thank you! This is so encouraging
I’m such a fan! I keep finding awesome plant pearls in your past videos 💚 so glad I stumbled on your channel! Has really helped inspire my plant obsession
Thank youuu welcome to the channel!
The time, work and love you put into this video is exactly why we love you so much. ❤️😊
Thank youuu
after finding this channel, today i bought a lot of plants . . hoped that i can take care of the plants well . .
I'm okay being called a crazy plant person. At least I have something to be crazy about. ;)
And yay, cant wait for the soil video!
Haha. Agreed!
I love ❤️ the way you explain all the details. You are very kind and sweet. Thank you so much 😊 I believe besides that you are very accurate with the information. Thanks Again!!
Thank youuuu
i enjoyed watching this video of yours...more learnings and tips..keep it up and more power.
Very well explained 👍I think you covered everything about watering.well done 🍀🍀☘️☘️
Thank youu
Excellent tips.....very clearlyexplained
Always learning..!!tnx
Thank youu 🤓
Wow! Your home is beautiful 😍 That lake in the background is gorgeous 😍. I’m here for plants 🌱 but wouldn’t mind a lil home tour 😉.
Haha thank you.
i love your channel so much. i think the most interesting thing is to see the difference in how plant people like you grow houseplants in indonesia. my country's climate is similar to yours so i'm enjoying all this relatable information.
your video quality is amazing all around (you, your filming & the information you provide).
loving this channel!
Wow thank you so much, that is a very positive review!
You’re the most likable plant expert of RUclips! This video is so informative. First time that the difference between browning from overwatering and underwatering was explained in a such a clear way. Thanks also for the tip about leaving a plant in a brighter area after watering. My calatheas’ leaves furl even with a soft 7am light (in Switzerland) so I had to move them to a darker corner, but now I know that I should taken them to a brighter area on
their watering day. Thank you so much for all these precious pieces of advice.
Wowww thank you for writing in to let me know that. Calatheas do like low to medium light. Dont forget to give them good air flow especially on watering day. They can rot easily
I love your subtext! You have a great sense of humor. Thanks for making me chuckle about taking plants to a party. I miss parties😭😭😭😭😭😭
Haha thank youuu. I miss parties too!
Thank you for all the information!! Your science teacher must really be proud of you.
Thank youuu 🤓❤️ I hope they saw the vids!
Have just started watching your RUclips videos I think you are my favourite now. The video on watering was so good and informative
Thank you so much! I have so much joy out of making these videos and sharing my experience. A soil video is uploading at the moment and it is out of this world! So do check that out soon 😉
Thank you for share. This video very helpful for bigining planter.Your plant beautiful. 🤟🇨🇦🇹🇭
Thank you 😅
OMG I'm using the exact same humidity and temp sensor lol! Definitely have a lot more confidence in that thing now... it has been super helpful
I enjoyed watching your videos sir. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Thanks for coming along!
Fantastic video, as always. Thank you so much this will help many people to gain confidence in their watering!
A lot of people give up having houseplants because they cannot figure out watering. More than half of all houseplants troubleshooting questions on the internet is related to improper watering. I hope to help with that 🥰
I'm 71 years old and I've never felt the need to buy a moisture probe. I've always just used my finger or judge by the weight of the pot whether there was a lot of water in it or not. I always worried about if I had a moisture meter and I tried to test the moisture and a plant like a spider plant that has thick roots that I would damage the root system by sticking up probe down in once a week I guess it would be fine for plants with fine Roots like Ferns and things like that but pothos and philodendron have kind of thick Roots also and I just think it does a lot of damage to the roots especially if you're doing it all the time like I've seen some people on RUclips that are beginning plant people. But you are right if you're new to plants and you're not sure about watering it would probably be a good thing to have but just be careful what plants you keep sticking that into like your canna lily if you stick it in through the rhizome the thick rhizome bulb like part of it or a caladium that has bulbs that's not such a good idea unless you put it between those thick rhizomes or bulbs. I know that's common sense but a lot of people don't have common sense anymore it seems like
Thank youu. I think moisture meters are great for beginners to learn about soil moisture. I’ve stopped using moisture meters for a while now because they will disturb the roots.
Thanks for sharing this super informative video. You are my new favorite plant youtuber. You took the plant community by storm. Congrats.
Whoaa thank you so much! It brings me joy to share knowledge and be connected to you guys.
That is so true it's a hit or miss with plants I like to bottom feed my plants
🐸🙏🏽🐸
love your explanation. easy to understand as always. Im slowly replacing my plastic pots to teracotta pots. it is easier to water it. plus i love how the pots is moist whenever i overwater. my plants love it. i am learning not to be dependent to my moist meter. i hate the holes when it poke the soil. the only small problem is its is a bit hard to repot when it is rootbound to the pot. i simply smashed the pot and smashed it further into pieces. i mixed it into my soil mix. nice to reuse it and it is good for relieving stress😅
You can soak the terracotta pot with plant in it in water. The roots and soil should loosen up a lot 😌
@@onlyplants thanks! i'll give that a try next time😅im impatient🤣
another learning cant wait for tom to check all my plants thank you for so much plant care tips your sharing with us
So glad you do this as we don't see many videos from plant parents in Asia! Keep them coming. Thank you
Thank youuu. I hope to inspire more youtubers from our region! Ive seen so many interesting ig accounts!

Looking forward to more plant content! Thank you!

Thank you for your engaging teaching video. I have learned so much from your sharing.
You’re welcome 🤓🙏🏽
this is so awesome thank you. reminds me of my high school biology class but useful now :)
Haha I had that same thought too!
I also stumbled on this channel through my Nature ID app & glad I did.. we have our seasons in NJ & yes I’m a crazy plant person have quite a lot of flowers, plants & veggies but always looking for more & some say I have a green thumb although I’m learning as I go always looking & reaping the benefits..I feel keeping a positive attitude helps the plants grow also some say I’m weird but I do say good morning & a little singing to my plants which they do love I once stopped & did notice a difference in their growth..I know I will enjoy this channel & grateful for ur knowledge & will tune in to more videos TY 👍🏼🤩🌿🌵🌸🪷🌞
Thank youu ❤️❤️
Wow how rare. A dude that talks about plants AND from the same region in the world as im in. Score! I can finally relate to a channel huhuhu
Haha thank youu
Watching from Phils. Love your plants.😍
Thank youuu 🐸❤️
Thank you so much! I really enjoy your video, it's really informative and easy to understand. Now, I know better how to water my plants! ❤️ 🙏
Thank youuu Im glad to be able to share these information with you too. I have so much more video content I cant wait to realize, so keep in touch!
I feel the best water to use to for your plants ,especially your potted ones is Water from your fish tank or tank filter washing( collect the poop water) ,fish pond ,water lily pond (with fishes) . This s because the waters
contain much nitrates from fish poop.Nitrates are plant fertilisers,organic and naturally dissolved for easy plant intake.Pity just do not have enough to water the whole garden
i just came across your videos and must say they are excellent and wonderful.Keep it up!
Thank youuu. Fish water sounds amazing! 😀
Woowww... what an enlightenment video for watering 101 !!!
I did kill few plant, almost killed it but survive to rescue them ...
Thank you sean... 👍🏻
Btw, maybe someday you can have an exhibition of your plants collection in Jakarta... definitely will come in !
Thank you I have plans to do workshops and collab with local plant businesses once the pandemic ends.
Hello again Sean! I like that on your channel you go in depth in information when it IS needed. I never knew all these aspects of watering my plants!! I see changes I need to make now. So many skip over the details because it might not be exciting but it is a part of the plants life cycle!! thanks for opening my eyes and I have fallen in love with my plants all over now,,
I find it so unique and admirable seeing a man who loves to collect, take care and grow plants.🌹🌼🌻🌅⛅
Haha thank you 🤓
Au début de la vidéo, je me suis dis Shon nous amène en classe! Mais ce fut très instructif. I love this vidéo !
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I love all your humble knowledge about plants. All the trial and errors... finally, someone who understands Indonesian weathers. Keep posting and pouring us with your knowledge please :) #newplantmama

Nice thanks for writing in!
Thank you so much for your advice on watering it was very helpful to me I’m beginning to understand more about the plant I have you have a great day
You’re welcome 😉
Thankyou. Great explanation of watering. Watching from Australia.
Thank you 🤓
Very good and detailed! With cacti and succulents you want to water once or twice a month and every other watering with fertilizer made for cacti and succulents. Also don't water them in your winter months as they go dormant then! Also well draining soil for them too. You have some lovely plants have a good day!
Thank youu.
You are fantastic. I was in need of some intermediate plant media. Educational and he is adorable 😍🏵️🌱🌵👨🏫 keep sharing your knowledge please!!

You’re welcome. Lets stay connected ☺️
Thank you so much very helpful for me ....so informative and easy to follow....very sincere as well thanks have a great day....your baby’s look healthy and happy..
Thank youuuu 😅
Hello friend. You touched on some key factors. When asking others for plant advice not everyone uses same methods and/or types of soil. Environment also plays a big role (tropical vs cold climates). By the way, I collect succulents. Wishing many blessings with your channel. Great video. 🌵
Hats off to you who can keep succulents alive. Haha I have a lot of learning to do in that area..
@@onlyplants Trust me... It's been trial and error. I live in an apartment... very challenging.. Good luck to us both.. 😁
Wow that's a fabulous video and great class ( sure your science teachers would be proud of you), I totally love all your plants and your planters are beautiful too, great tips and great info, keep it up Shawn 👍 you may be new RUclipsr but you surely have great knowledge about them, well done👏👏👌👌

Me too stumbled here and it's my favorite channel!
Thank you so much 😌❤️
finally a good video from Indonesia. I'm happy now that i can get insights from someone living in the same city & climate as me lol.
Btw, i'm a bit curious as to why our local shops/farmers sometimes has very different approach to watering & media. Like for rubber plants, people here tend to use the red soil (that clay-like one) and recommend to water them daily, as opposed to people here in youtube recommending to use more airy soil mix & watering only when the soil is dry. The youtuber recommendations seems more logical to me, but the local shops/farmers must be giving that advice because it works for them. What do you think about this contrasting difference?
I believe the clay type soil is inexpensive/probably even free of charge if they take it from the mountains. So price is number 1 factor. Secondly they grow their plants outdoors, where evaporation rate and air circulation is high, therefore the plants can live in this soil.
All the things that I wanted to know 🙈, regardless about to finish all your vlogs, it just so soothing for mind and soul. Been learning a lot about plant baby. ❤️
Nice! I hope to help you increase your success and confidence in keeping your plants. So we can spread this plant love 🥰

Wonderful explanation. Good job bro.
Thank you 🙏🏽🐸
Did a great job on talking about watering. I do get my idoor and seeds watered but i sleep late so between 10am and noon i water things like my outdoor container of tomato or my small succs. I have weird continers like 3 plastic bikes with side car i got filled with candy 1 easter i found a half died kalachoe at lowes stuck the 3 hopeful stems 1 in each and they have doubled in size this spring.. you see on my budget you use and pail or butter tub or plastic jar. I use pop bottles and to go side cups with covers. I may not have beautifful pots but they do get noticed. I also re--use nursery pots and if a plant comes with a cover pot or terra cotta all the better. Dollor store hanging pots work great for my dangling plants.
! I have been buying water in 2 and 1/2 gallon plastic containers that have a spigot on it. So you can put it in the fridge or on the counter top and have access to the water without having to pour it. They're huge plastic containers and I'm thinking while they take up a lot of room in the trash and I bought some tomato plants I couldn't get in the ground. So I cut the top off of these plastic containers put potting soil and it have pot soil half peat moss osmocote and some soil moist crystals that absorb 50 times their weight in water. I open the spicket up so the water can drain out and put a tomato plant in each one. Since they're above ground The Roots get very warm quickly versus the cold ground. I'm anxious to see how my recycled water containers are doing they hold about the same amount of soil as water I guess two and a half quarts or gallons I mean
