💦Water

• [ ] Activity: 📅Plan a watering schedule! 💦 An easy one to remember is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tell your parents so they can help you remember too!

<aside> 💡 How can you tell if your plant is over or under watered? If you stick one finger into the soil, 3-4 inches deep the soil should still be moist. If it is dry, water! If is it really wet and you can feel water on your fingers, wait to water! 💦

• [ ] Activity: ☝️Check to make sure your soil has the right amount of water in it by using the finger trick!
