About watering houseplants

Far more houseplants die from overwatering than from neglect. The usual cause is watering on a rigid weekly habit rather than in response to the plant. A tracker helps not because a schedule is correct, but because it tells you when it is worth checking — and a quick finger in the soil is a better test than any calendar.

Check before you pour

Push a finger two to three centimetres into the soil. If it is damp, wait. The interval is a reminder to check, not a command.

Light drives thirst

A plant in a bright south window will drink far faster than the same species in a dim corner, even in the same room.

Pot and soil matter

Terracotta breathes and dries faster than plastic, and a chunky aroid mix dries faster than dense compost.

Seasons change everything

Most houseplants need dramatically less water in winter, when light is low and growth has effectively paused.

Plant watering tracker FAQ

Questions about intervals, seasons and what overdue means.

How often should I water a houseplant?

It depends on the species, the pot, the light and the season. Most common houseplants sit somewhere between every five and every fourteen days, and nearly all of them prefer being slightly too dry to slightly too wet.

Should I change the interval in winter?

Usually yes. Growth slows in low light and cool temperatures, so many plants need watering half as often between November and February. Edit the interval seasonally rather than sticking to one number all year.

What does overdue actually mean here?

It means more days have passed than the interval you set for that plant. It is a prompt to check the soil, not an instruction to water — the interval is your estimate, the soil is the evidence.

Can I track plants in different rooms?

Yes. Each plant carries a location label, which makes it easy to water everything in one room in a single pass.

Is my plant list stored anywhere online?

No. It lives in your browser's local storage on this device and is never uploaded.
