How to tell if green radish needs watering

1. Observe the potting soil

When watering the plant, you can observe the surface of the soil in the pot before watering. If the surface is dry, but the bottom soil is still moist when you turn it over with your hand, you don't need to water it in a hurry. However, if the bottom soil is also dry, you need to add water in time.

2. Observe the leaves

If the green radish lacks water during maintenance, the leaves will wilt and become weak. If you find this happening, it means you need to add water. If the leaves are in good condition, emerald green and upright, it means there is enough moisture in the soil and no watering is needed.

3. Chopsticks inserted into the soil

Before watering, you can also test whether the plant needs additional water by poking it with chopsticks. After a few minutes of insertion, if the chopsticks are still dry, or the soil brought out is dry, it proves that watering is needed. If the chopsticks are still damp, you can wait a few days before rehydrating them.

4. Listen to the sound

In addition to observing, you can also listen to the sounds. Knock on the outer wall of the flowerpot with your hand or something like a wooden stick. If the sound is dull, it proves that there is still a lot of moisture inside. If the sound is very crisp, it means that the water is almost evaporated and needs to be replenished.
