I Watered My Plant EVERY Day For a Month (The Results SHOCKED Me) 

Thanks for that 🙏

There was a little damage in this video..and in my balcony at home and on windowsill on my job the soil always wet about 11-14 days ...so for sure I won't repeat it.

I would just suspect you and rinsing a lot bc of the nutrients out of the soil so you would need to replace them more often

Why didn’t you just turn on the sink faucet?😂 the watering can seems just annoying

@@FknNefFy I added things to the water

Definitely 👍

Spot on comment. 💯 🎯 Couldn’t have said it better myself. Overwatering is a complete sham. If something is repeated often enough, people believe it to be true.

I managed to kill an aglaonema by overwatering despite it was in a lechuza pon substrate which has low water retention and excellent drainage.

I have bougainvilleas and roses that I water 2x a day everyday and are in full, direct hot son that are doing so well with completely no issues whatsoever. Why can’t all plants be the same?

@@aikonriche Are they in the ground or in a pot?

Thanks for watching 😁

You've got me wondering now 😅. Will post an update. Thanks for your comment as always 👍

Glad you found it useful 👍

The same here

The trick is to have a watering schedule! I water ALL my indoor plants on Sunday. And they each get a MEASURED AMOUNT OF WATER! Yes, MEASURE the water...instead of just dumping whatever amount comes pouring out. See, once you discover the correct amount each plant does the best on, then stick to that amount, and you'll have much better results, happier plants and far less anxiety in the process! I also only water my indoor plants with DISTILLED WATER! That avoids ending up with all that white mineral build-up on the pots... something NO PLANT can ingest anyway! (It's actually DISSOLVED STONE and nothing (US included!) can utilize dissolved STONE...the same thing stalactites and stalagmites in caves are created from! But those cataracts in eyes, and kidney and bladder stones, are created by drinking tap water, and all other types of undistilled water. They don't come from out of the air, you know! It was recently discovered that crystals (think snowflakes!) can ONLY be formed using distilled water! The uninformed believe we "need" all the "minerals" found in undistilled water, but they are sadly mistaken! Oh and btw...all that dissolved stone found in undistilled water, and other "required" ingredients... helps create WRINKLES in your face! (I'm 77...but people always think 50 or 55, and I'm shocked when some women say they are 57 or 59, and they look older than 80!) I don't care WHAT kind of water you can think of...if it's NOT distilled, there are things in it you didn't bargain for, starting with bacteria and any number of other delightful goodies! And here is something most people are unaware of...there is NO regulation on bottled water. The best you can do...for YOURSELF and your plants... is to only drink and cook with DISTILLED WATER. And the BEST DISTILLED WATER IS TARGET brand distilled water! (And NO, I do not work for Target! lol!) I've been drinking only distilled water for over 40 years and am so glad I've always done so! I also use ONLY distilled water for my cats and any other pets. Plus, it is the ONLY water I use in my fish aquariums...that stay so lovely and clear, with NONE of that nasty, white mineral deposit that gathers on tanks using anything besides DISTILLED! (One more tip here...MEAT IS THE #1 CAUSE OF BREAST CANCER IN WOMEN...BESIDES MANY OTHER TYPES OF CANCER IN ALL HUMANS! "THEY" don't want you to know these things! The meat industry has powerful control in D.C. and I mean powerful! On one of The Price Is Right programs, Bob Barker (who was is animal supporter and vegetarian, like myself, if you didn't notice!...and he'll turn 100 on December 12th of this year!...asked his TV audience to have a "meat out" just one day a week...and "THEY" blacked out his TV show for a week... as punishment for daring to say something so threatening against their business! Oh yeah...and ALL FISH contains mercury...the cause of dementia, and other horrors...like death!) And remember to create a WATERING SCHEDULE... and only WATER ONE DAY A WEEK...AND MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE! Okay, thank you for reading this long message...and research everything! For Big TRUTH! kristi

I was thinking the same. Many plants are from places with more rainy and dry seasons alternating, so it doesn't surprise me that daily watering for just a month will be okay. They will only drink as much as they need, as long as the rest of the water is allowed to drain away it's fine.

You could see the roots were changing colour so they were affected. But having the water drain away is key. In the rainforest I think there's a lot more going on compared to a small pot.

that shows you the importance of an ecosystem: when you have a plant in your home, you can do your best to keep the abiotic factors (like light, humidity, temperature etc.) exactly as it would be in its natural habitat, but it would probably die. you are creating a microbiome within the fairly closed system of the plant's pot and your home, with unique pathogens and predators, which the plant hasn't evolved to thrive in. so you have to find a new balance, with different values of sunlight, nutrients, moisture, to allow the plant to survive (not even thrive) and outlive those pests. same thing with animals, btw... which is why "research" from zookeeping is never applicable to wild animals. sry for info dumping :0

Thank you 😊

Makes sense 👍

Might be onto something

Thanks for watching 😁

😂 that's funny

Possibly. You'd definitely want to get rid of the soil long term.

I was thinking the same - as if they lived in water. It was clear that they grew nice new white roots

Thank you 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

💯

same id be far too guilty! 🫠

I certainly was at the beginning!

Thanks for watching 😁

Thank you 😊

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching 😁

Good shout 👍

In the long run I don't think my house has the light for them to survive on that schedule 😅

@@SheffieldMadePlants you need to be closer to the sun! lol

I’ll post an update 👍

Letting it drain is definitely key. I'm not saying to water every day though. I'm sure if this continued for a few more months I'd have problems. The roots were changing colour. But giving a plant too much water here or there won't be a disaster!

As long as the roots got oxygen they gonna adapt and eventually grow sort of water roots

@@soulreaper359 But they won't in soil because if the soil is constantly wet, they won't get the oxygen/air that they need, unless they are bog plants. But I have seen peace lilies around a fountain were they got contant water! However, you otherwise need either hydroponic or semi-hydroponic growing conditions.

Yes they were 👍

Glad you liked it 😁

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Yes I did

Interesting 🤔

That's a really good point! I was comparing the peace lily pot to plant ratio to my own and also thought that there was no way I could do this with my own peace lily--there's just not enough plant per unit of soil rn. It's a great demonstration of how snug plants can/should be in their pots!

Yes and the type of growing medium...when in doubt stick you finger in

Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching 😁

Definitely

Thanks 😊

Very true

But just in water right?

@@SheffieldMadePlants I use small ceramic bio balls in there for the peave lily but the pothos tends to just dangle in from the top of the aquarium

the fish tend to sleep in the roots

Sure 👌

Thanks!

Thanks for watching 😁

It was all just an excuse to go shopping 😂

@@SheffieldMadePlants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my kind of content creator extraordinaire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was thing the same😂👍🏻👍🏻

🤣

😁

Wow, thank you!

👍👍👍

Thanks 🙏

Thanks. I think you can still have problems but what surprised me is how long you have before issues arise. You could see the colour of roots had changed but not significantly. If I'd carried on for 6 months I'm sure I would have had problems. The water could escape and that was key

Outside plants and indoor plants do not have the same water needs. It depends on how hot it is and how much light they get, etc.

I've done that to a couple of plants 👍

Thanks for watching 😁

Fussy plants eh

Yeah plants definitely can adapt to water 👍

I water my plants TWICE a day with completely no issues. All these overwatering narratives are a myth.

Yeah I didn't think of that

I wonder what I did wrong with my two deceased Crotons? Pots had drainage holes and they weren't lleft with any excess water that could damage the roots Maybe they didn't get enough direct sunlight? Or maybe they are another "NOPE" plant for me 😉

@@TheNetsrac my old one died immediately 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching 😁

Maybe a bad soil mix. 10 days seems very quick

Thanks for sharing!

I probably could do 😅

Yeah tends to become a problem when roots are left to sit in water

Maybe the issues are more than watering?

Thank you 😊

Great stuff 👍

Thank you 😊

👍👍👍

Spot on 👍

You could see the roots changed colour so they were on their way for sure

Thank you 😊

You bet!

It seems to be helping 👍

👍

I’d rather be an underwaterer 😁

Potentially 🤔

Pothos sure can be great growing in water 👍

My pleasure 😊

💯

Thank you 😊

No i normally bottom water but for this I was drenching every day!

Thank you will have a think 👍

It seems a little risky. You might break a stem. Using a fan might be better

@SheffieldMadePlants exactly! It would mimic the wind better and you would have at improved ventilation. I see people doing it to all their plants, and they don't stop at figs... like who has time? If you have time to shake 100-200 plants a day when on earth do you have time to mist them all (sarcasm insert here)?? 🤭🤭🤣🤣

Not sure about the bright colours. I’d normally say light but you’ve already got it in good light. Maybe feed?

@@SheffieldMadePlants update: I gave the plant some feed and the color is slowly coming. I have crimson edges and on the center vein. In my earlier post, I said I had clipped the bud and have 3 new ones coming, each of those produced 2 sprouts, and there’s a new sprout coming. So, I clipped 1 and got 7 new ones. Crazy!

👍👍👍

Thanks!

Haha that’s funny

😁

Definitely 💯

Roots also need air. Hydro and semi-hydro is without soil, which, when kept constantly wet doesn't allow that except for bog and water plants like reeds and such. But I have also seen peace lilies doing beautifully in very wet conditions. And I mean like bog conditions.

The thing I took away is that time is your side if you’ve been giving your plant too much water. They are more resilient than we might think.
