    I grow Orchids and over watering is what most people do that causes the plant to die. See my lens "Orchids of the Americas"

    It's truly important to water a plant properly like giving only what a certain plant can take. Just like a cypress bonsai which only need a small amount of water in a scheduled time. Good job on making this informative lens.

    Yes! One of the reasons that I don't keep houseplants any more is because I can't seem to get the watering right!

    Well most of us will be needing this advice soon. Only hope the summer is better than last, it rained, rained, rained. Thank you for the lens.

    I've done pretty well with house plants with the exception of a bonsai tree I had. Thanks for the tips!

    I bought a self watering reservoir from a place in San Diego, called hooksandlattice.com. I use it in my window planters in our secodn story bedrooms (the kids) because it's hard to reach over the beds to water (use fake lowers in the winter {smile}...i';; paste in the picture of the one i bought (if i do it right)

    Having a personal relationship with your plants is truly half the battle. People are always telling me how great my African Violets are (I have a lot) and one of the first things they ask is if I water from the bottom (I don't). My AV and I have developed a long term relationship that works for us but may not work for others. I think providing the basics and encouraging plant growers to become in tune with their plants needs is a great suggestion. You've provided lots of tips for growers to build on.

    Hi, thanks for that. I am growing a fair number of tomatoes, herbs and other plants. Tips on watering are always welcome, since this seems to be a fairly misunderstood subject. I tried an experiment in self watering plant pots using twine as a wick to draw water up from a reservoir, but it really was not suitable for all plants. It relies heavily on the absorption ability of the soil, and is more slow steady than drench and drain.
