Meadow Buttercup watering guide

Watering Frequency

Recommended Schedule: every 7–10 days during active growth, reduce in winter

Water deeply once the top inch of soil is dry; reduce frequency in winter to prevent root rot.

Seasonal Watering Guide

Spring/Summer

Active growing season - water more frequently. Check soil every 2-3 days.

Fall/Winter

Dormant period - reduce watering. Allow soil to dry more between waterings.

How to Water Properly

Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, focusing on the root zone, and avoid wetting leaves to prevent fungal issues.

Watering Tips

  • Water at the base to avoid foliage disease; ensure soil dries between waterings.

Pro Tip

Use a watering can with a narrow spout to direct water precisely to the roots.

Common Watering Mistakes

Overwatering

The #1 killer of houseplants. Signs include yellowing leaves, soft stems, and musty smell.

Inconsistent Watering

Letting soil dry completely then flooding it stresses the plant.

Surface Watering

Only wetting the top layer doesn't reach deep roots.
