Do your flowers need watering?

Pinch and twist method

Pinch the soil in the pot with your fingers. If the soil is powdery, it means the soil is dry and you should water it immediately. If it is flaky or granular, it means the soil is moist and you don't need to water it for the time being. The above test methods are all based on experience. They can only tell people the approximate dryness or wetness of the potting soil. If you need to know the exact dryness or wetness of the potting soil, you can buy a soil thermometer, insert the thermometer into the cover, and you can see the words "dry" or "wet" on the scale, so you can know exactly when to water.

Finger test

Gently insert your finger into the soil about 2 cm deep and touch the soil. If it feels dry or rough and hard, it means the soil is dry and needs to be watered immediately. If it feels slightly moist, fine and soft, it means the soil is moist and you don't need to water it for the time being.

Visual inspection

Use your eyes to observe whether there is any change in the color of the surface of the potting soil. If the color becomes lighter or grayish white, it means that the potting soil is dry and needs watering; if the color becomes darker or brown, it means that the potting soil is moist and you don't need to water it for the time being.

Finger measurement method. Gently insert your finger into the soil about 2 cm deep and touch the soil. If it feels dry or rough and hard, it means the soil is dry and needs to be watered immediately. If it feels slightly moist, fine and soft, it means the soil is moist and you don't need to water it for the time being.

Percussion

Use your finger joints to gently tap the upper middle wall of the flowerpot. If it makes a crisp sound, it means the soil in the pot is dry and needs to be watered immediately. If it makes a dull sound, it means the soil in the pot is moist and you do not need to water it for the time being.
