Monitor Soil Moisture and Avoid Overwatering

What happens here

To avoid overwatering, which can suffocate plant roots by displacing necessary oxygen in the soil, regularly check the soil moisture. Stick your finger into the soil near the plant's base, a few inches deep. If the soil feels wet and muddy, the plant is likely sufficiently watered and doesn't need more. It's recommended to let the topsoil dry out for a couple of days before rewatering. You can also use a small knife or shovel to check deeper soil moisture if needed.

Goal: Ensure plants receive adequate water without over-saturating the soil.
