How often should I water the tiger plant?

1. Whether to water or not

(1) Through the sound of the pot: Before watering, we can knock on the wall of the pot with our fingers and listen to the sound it makes. If it is crisp, it means the soil in the pot is dry, and we can water it at this time. On the contrary, if the sound is dull, it means the soil in the pot is very wet. There is no doubt that it is not advisable to water again in this case.

(2) By weight: Another method is to weigh the plant before watering. If it feels heavy, it contains too much water and you should not water it. If it feels very light, it means there is less water and the soil in the pot is dry. At this time, you can water it.

(3) Through the morphology of the plant: This is also a good method. Sometimes, the leaves are lighter in color and feel softer to the touch. Sometimes, the leaves spread out in all directions. In these cases, the soil in the pot is dry and we need to water it. Sometimes, the color of its leaves will appear fresh and shiny, and they will stand upright without drooping. Well, at this time, if there is sufficient water, there is no need to water it.

2. Can certain standards be established?

In actual operation, there is no definite standard for how often to water. This is because the climate is different in different places. So, at this time we need to judge whether we need to water it based on the standards we mentioned above. In other words, it is impossible to establish the roots by watering them only once every few days. When actually watering, we can make a judgment based on the comprehensive situation of the above criteria.

3. Notes

This plant is very afraid of waterlogging, so it is better to let it be a little drier than to overwater it at once. Otherwise, its roots are likely to rot.
