Watering schedule for houseplants

Monstera – the green diva

Monstera is the queen of indoor jungles and your first choice for an urban tropical paradise. Water it every 1 to 2 weeks, but always check the soil first – dry on top, moist underneath? Ideal! It doesn't like wet feet, so give it space, light shade and a moderate flow of water. Bonus? Every new hole in the leaf is proof that it's doing great – like a new handbag in your collection.

Orchid – a sophisticated beauty

If a plant were a perfume, the orchid would be Chanel No. 5. Sophisticated, delicate, and dramatic if watered incorrectly. Give it a gentle watering every 1 to 2 weeks, best by submerging the root system. It loves light, but no direct sun – like you on the terrace with big sunglasses.

Cactus – desert minimalist

If your hands are drier than a cactus, you've won. A cactus only needs water every 2 to 3 weeks – even less in winter. Don't complicate it. Give it sun, some space and peace. And don't water it like a monstera, because it will end up as a sad pile of rot. Less is more, really.

Succulents - you stand for introverts

Succulents are decorative minimalists – quiet but noticeable. Water them every 2 to 3 weeks, only when the soil is completely dry. Too much water will literally blow them away – literally! They love the light and attention on Instagram. And here’s a hint: containers with a drain are their BFF.

Ficus – silent power

Ficus is the James Bond of plants: it doesn't talk much, but it knows what it wants. Water it every 1 to 2 weeks, when you notice that the soil is dry to the touch. Spray it regularly and wipe the leaves – yes, it likes a spa treatment. And don't move it around the apartment – it's a little sensitive to moving.

Palm trees – urban jungle

Palm trees in your apartment are like a cocktail on the beach – exotic, relaxed and always in style. They need watering once a week, but be careful! Too much water and root rot can occur. It's better to water a little at a time. They love light and wind in their hair – or in their leaves.

Mother-in-law's tongue – the vegetable samurai

Sansevieria, or snake plant, is reliable, hardy, and never a drama queen. Water it every 2 to 3 weeks and don't complicate it. It grows slowly but surely. Perfect for beginners and those who regularly forget they have plants at home. It purifies the air and doesn't seek attention.

Bonsai – Zen teacher

This bonsai tree, titled "Good Morning," is like your life coach—small but big on impact. It needs watering. once a week, evenly and thoroughly. It doesn't like to be overdried or flooded, so give it your Zen focus and patience. Its beauty requires discipline.

Spider plant – a vintage classic

A retro star that keeps coming back into fashion. The spider plant is being watered every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the light and the time of year. It loves a bright environment and can handle neglect just fine. There's no drama with it, just green happiness and an abundance of little plants to share with friends.
